Book of Ethers III

Ty,

Sage suggested

I write you with gratitude

for saving our lives.

The scavenger hunt mother

sent us to Scarborough for

early last autumn

is an open mystery.

Since we found the car

our mother thought lost to time,

I have even more questions.

I fell for the trap

the Burgesses set for us.

Were it not for you

our days would have been cut short;

me, Sage, Aunt Rose, and Mary.

I'm not a writer,

Sage proofreads my written work.

She's the smarter twin,

but our father's swordsmanship

is my true blessing!
