Sick leave caused by grief is not time off for dependants: Forster took three days' sick leave two months after starting employment at the solicitors firm. Three months later, she took 12 days' paid bereavement leave due to the death of her father. After a further four months, she took two days' sick leave, and then her mother died in the same month. Forster took five days' bereavement leave, and then two weeks' sick leave, certified by her GP for a 'bereavement reaction'.
She was then off a further two weeks. During this period of sick leave her employer called her in for a meeting and she was dismissed. She had not accumulated the necessary year's service to claim for unfair dismissal, but she claimed the reason for her absence was "in consequence of the death of a dependant" under s57A(1)(c) Employment Rights Act 1996, and consequently her dismissal was automatically unfair.
The tribunal held that the period of absence did not fall within s57A(1)(c) and dismissed the complaint. Forster appealed, but it was dismissed.
The EAT held that sickness absence taken as a result of a bereavement did not fall within the scope of s57A(1)(c). The trigger for the entitlement to take time off was that the time off was taken for action that was necessary as the consequence of the death of a dependant, such as for funeral arrangements, registering the death and applying for probate.

As an athlete, your power is precious.
The Silverskin mission is to craft revolutionary Base Layers that preserve and enhance it.
And, by leveraging our company's 20+ years at the cutting edge of the knitwear and textile machine supplies industry, we are uniquely positioned to make it happen.
We combine superior craft, optimal comfort, and unrivaled construction, creating Base Layers that stimulate muscle activity and body thermoregulation.
That means lightweight, comfy garments for all conditions. Base Layers that stimulate muscle activity and regulate body temperature - removing obstacles between you and your most powerful performance. And, vitally, extra protection in the war on injury.
In the face of extreme challenges, only the most advanced Base Layers can cut it. Rely on Silverskin to protect your power when the going gets tough.
Silverskin Advanced Base Layers enjoy three key advantages.
The unique production technique that eliminates annoying seams and provides flawless range of motion, keeping you free to face any challenge without irritation.
Garments that maximize silver's greatest characteristic - the conduction of energy - to maintain a constant, even body temperature, in any external condition.
Silverskin guarantees the quality and safety of our materials. From the production of the yarn to the final packaging, everything is made in Italy to the highest standards.
Silverskin Advanced Base Layers combine real silver with a range of natural, synthetic, elastic, and fire-resistant technical fibers.
Create an ideal microclimate between athlete and garment thanks to the union of silver with other yarns. The temperature remains constant, the skin remains dry.
The pure silver in the fabric keeps the body temperature constant, both when it is cold and hot. Its conductive properties allow the fabric to evenly distribute the heat produced by the body, and keep it constant even during physical activity. This helps reduce muscle injuries caused by sudden temperature changes.
The synthetic component of the yarn and the special knitting process give the Silverskin garments exceptional breathability. Sweat is expelled to the outside and the skin remains dry, keeping you comfy, and feeling ready to go even harder.
Silver counteracts the spread of bacteria from the body's sweat, keeping you fresh and odour-free - even in the heat of intense performance.
We believe that the little things are the big things. All Silverskin Advanced Base Layers are manufactured using our innovative full-head processing technique. This means garments with astonishing attention to detail, even in the most hidden areas. When you're pushing the limits of your performance, the last thing you need is a nagging nuisance. That's why we've eliminated seams, which can itch and scratch away at your skin. We've also included Lycra in the yarn, creating highly elastic garments, perfectly sculpted to the body's natural motion. The result? Maximum comfort matched with unrelenting freedom of movement, while avoiding rubbing and other irritations.
LIVE UP TO THE HYPE?
We know that Silverskin represents a giant leap forward in the Base Layers realm. But you shouldn't just blindly believe us.
You should believe the science.
AMA (Advanced Measurement Applications) SRL, an academic partner of the Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy, conducted a thermographic analytical comparison study between Silverskin Advanced Base Layers and comparable products commercially available from competitors.
As demonstrated in the image, the initial conditions were identical for both.
The first comparison was taken after ten minutes of running.
The athlete on the right, wearing a competitor's product, displays a slight patch of blue color at the abdomen. This indicates sweat.
The difference is unmistakable at the end of the test. The blue area of the athlete on the right extends to the belly, while the athlete wearing Silverskin remains uniformly dry.

Love the look of pearls, but uncertain of their place beyond bridal parties and country clubs? Good news: pearls are trendier than ever to bring a classic touch to the the latest looks. Try these tips for wearing pearls today!
Athleisure is still trendy–just look at the recent health goth trend. Pairing pearls with sporty pieces is a great way to bring balance and interest to your look. The key is to invest in quality athletic wear, and to try to match colors.. For example, pair a cream pearl bracelet with cream colored slip on sneakers, or a black pearl bracelet with an upscale black hoodie.
When in doubt, defer to fashion queen and real-life Dutchess Kate Middleton. Kate has been a key player in the resurgence of pearl jewelry. One way she makes the old school staple trendy is by using muted, ladylike pearls to contrast bright or bold colors.
Make your pearls Coachella-chic by using them as a festival-ready headband. Take a shorter pearl necklace, drape over your head, and secure with bobby pins. Check out this video for a visual. Pendant style necklaces provide more of a diadem effect, while simple strands are a little more straight forward.
Having a jeans and a t-shirt kinda day, but need at least a little bit of a boost? Pearls pair great with denim. Wear two classic favorites by sticking with a simple pearl cuff or strand paired with fitted, gently distressed denim for a look that's ladylike without being too made-up.

Kayapa bags AHD and RPFP awards
Mayor Elizabeth D. Balasya, MD, MPH, led the Nueva Vizcaya contingency, along with Provincial Population Officer Elvira G. Tongson, in receiving regional awards won by the Municipality of Kayapa on April 1, 2022 at the Zen Hotel in Santiago City, Isabela.
Kayapa bagged the awards for Most Outstanding Municipality in Advancing Adolescent Health and Development (AHD), and Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RPFP).
The other regional champions were Santiago City, Isabela, and the Municipality of Maddela, Quirino, as Most Outstanding City for AHD and RPFP, and Most Outstanding Municipality in Advancing Population and Development (POPDEV), respectively.
Each of the winners received a Plaque of Recognition and a cash prize of P15,000. "They all advance to the national competition level where its awarding ceremony has been tentatively set for May 4, 2022", the 2022 Regional Search and Award Committee (RSAC) declared.
In accepting the awards, Mayor Balasya acknowledged the invaluable continuing technical assistance of all the personnel of the Population Division under the Office of Provincial Governor Carlos M. Padilla, and the earnest efforts of Dr. Miguela C. Watchorna, Municipal Health Officer and Population Officer-Designate of Kayapa, and all her staff, that greatly contributed to this feat which, she said, is the first-ever for the LGU.
She then proceeded to challenge all her fellow public servants to continue serving the more than 26,000 people of Kayapa who, she said, mostly belong to the Kalanguya, Iwak, and Ibaloi ethnolinguistic groups, and to aim for more awards for the LGU.
The KPA was launched in 1989 as the Rafael M. Salas Population and Development Award (RMSPDA) to perpetuate the legacy of Rafael M. Salas, the first Executive Director of the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) from 1969 to 1987, by honoring Local Government Units (LGUs), local chief executives (LCEs), and institutions or individuals for their outstanding contributions in the field of population and development. In 2019, the RMSPDA was changed to Kaunlarang Pantao Award (KPA).
This year's awards specifically recognize the efforts and initiatives of the LGUs in advancing various population and development strategies, particularly responsible parenthood/family planning, adolescent health and development, and population and development integration during the pandemic. #mccd/rmi/jlc reporting

Q: Does the commutative property of addition holds for uncertainties?
Box A has a height of $2.0±0.1$m, box B has a height of $1.5±0.1$m. If box B is placed on top of box A, what is the total height of both boxes?

I know that to find the total height of both boxes, I have to do like the following
$$A_{height} = 2.0 ± 0.1m$$
$$B_{height} = 1.5 ± 0.1m$$
$$A_{height} + B_{height} = (2.0 ± 0.1m) + (1.5 ± 0.1m)-----①$$
I know that somehow, I will end up with something like
$$(2.0+1.5)±(0.1m+0.1m)=3.5±0.2m-----②$$
But, I'm not really sure how to go from ① to ②. I thought that I could use the commutative property of addition and "rearrange" it. But then I'll get
$$(2.0+1.5)±(0.1m±0.1m)$$
I'm not sure how to add both $0.1m$ since between them there's a ± sign instead of a + sign. Can I just add both $0.1m$ together? Does the commutative property of addition holds for uncertainties like this?

A: Work this out by thinking about the meaning, not by trying to manipulate formulas with rules.
The largest value the total height can have is when each measured height is at its maximum possible value, so the error in the sum in that direction is at most $0.2m$. Reason similarly for the lower estimate.

A: Here is a way to think about it. $A=2 \pm 0.1$ means $2-0.1 \leq A \leq 2 + 0.1$ and similarly for $B$. It then follows that $3.5 - 0.2 \leq A+B \leq 3.5+0.2$, i.e., $A+B = 3.5 \pm 0.2$.

Throughout history, many non-Christian cultures have interpreted the disappearance of the trusty moon as a dark omen. The local planetarium set up telescopes for astrology fans.
Andrew Fabian, professor of astronomy at Cambridge University, explained that light from the sun goes through the earth's atmosphere on its way to the moon.
Before and after this total eclipse phase, the Moon passes into a transitional phase called penumbra: the total duration of these three phases (penumbra, total, penumbra) varies from place to place. In Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, people at an open-air restaurant admired a rare clear view during the rainy season, comparing a live NASA webcast to what they saw above.
In a rare celestial display, a red moon will rise above the horizon tomorrow, July 27, in the longest total lunar eclipse seen this century. "Less dark eclipses may show the moon as dark grey or brown ... as rust-coloured, brick-red, or, if very bright, copper-red or orange". During the eclipse, the Earth will be moving directly between the Sun and the Moon.
Most of the world got to see a spectacular event in the sky Friday.
There will also be a partial lunar eclipse on July 16, 2019, the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11, the mission that sent the first humans to the moon.
This visibility of the lunar eclipse in India is expected to be pretty good but cloudy sky and inclement weather are likely to hurt the chances of being able to watch the phenomenon.
Skywatchers around much of the world have sought a glimpse of a complete lunar eclipse that was the longest of this century. Some light, though, still reaches it because it is bent by the earth's atmosphere.
While hoaxers have claimed that Mars will appear as the same size of the moon during the eclipse, the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) dispelled the rumors.
In Britain, for example, the lunar eclipse lasted throughout the evening, beginning when the moon rose at 8:50 p.m.
Lunar eclipses can occur only during a full moon, and this one is extra special because it's also the blood moon.
People in the Europe, the Middle East and the rest of Africa witnessed the celestial phenomenon between sunset and midnight, while those in Australia and eastern Asia saw the eclipse between midnight and dawn. Additionally, Mars and the sun will be on exact opposite sides of the Earth and will shine its best.
During this total eclipse, the Moon - earth's natural satellite - will turn striking shade of red.
Mr Trump insists he has done nothing wrong and says such a recording would be "totally unheard of and perhaps illegal". Trump Jr. stated that he expected dirt on Hillary Clinton from the meeting but came out empty handed.
In the past month, reports came out that Samsung's foldable phone , Galaxy, may have a hefty price at around $2,000. Previously, Samsung Mobile chief DJ Koh was also spotted using the upcoming smartphone Galaxy Note 9 in public.
The closed-door one-on-one meeting between Trump and Putin took place July 16 in Helsinki, Finland. Putin did not say how Trump had reacted to the invitation to travel to Moscow.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index added 0.6 per cent to 22,712.75 and the Kospi in South Korea picked up 0.3 per cent to 2,294.99. In contrast to Facebook the day before, Amazon offered some positive results for the recently troubled FANG group.
The club's marketing department are believed to have removed him from their branding for the new season. "Honestly, I'm waiting. If I stay, I stay and I do what I did up until now". "If I go, it's because the offer that another team makes will be good.
Disney's Acquisition of Fox Approved by shareholders from Disney and 21st Century Fox approved Disney acquisition of Fox. Disney's and Fox's special shareholder meetings on the deal took place at New York Hilton Midtown hotel .
Cohen's claims weren't mentioned in separate reports issued by Republicans and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee. Stone said Trump Jr. did nothing illegal, but was disappointed that there was no information being given about Clinton.
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery faces former club Paris Saint-Germain in the latest pre-season friendly ahead of his competitive bow as Arsene Wenger's replacement.
Last month, the couple spent time in India and Chopra acted as Jonas' plus-one at a family member's wedding. We just had a great time. "She's a lovely person", he had said in an interview a year ago .
Another factor that will play a role in the eclipse's duration is the path that the moon will taking through the Earth's shadow. As it lines up with the Earth and sun , the rising full moon will darken and change from silver to rusty or awful blood red.
Sentenced hanged all the members of the sect "AUM Shinrikyo"
Japan executes some death-row prisoners most years but the total of 13 executions so far this year is the highest in a decade. About 2,000 people are members of three groups that formed after Aum Shinrikyo was broken up, according to AP.
In February, Australia disclosed it had cancelled almost 1,300 visas, more than half of which were held by New Zealanders. As for the history behind the flags, the two countries feature the Union Jack as a reference to their British history.

Some of us at RLG have been kicking around the idea to start a blog for a while. Early on we agreed to focus on issues of interest to our members — museums, libraries, and archives — and to focus particularly on issues that were of interest to all three. But what to call our musings?
On the 4th of July I was listening to KQED, one of the Bay Area's NPR affiliate stations. Michael Krasny, host of Forum interviewed Kenneth Davis, the author of Don't Know Much About History. Davis repeated the often-told story: John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress signed the declaration and reportedly said, "We must be unanimous. There must be no pulling different ways. We must all hang together." Benjamin Franklin is said to have retorted, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Of course, no one has a transcript of the proceedings that day, so we don't really know what was said. Nonetheless, it's meaningful, and it captures what I think the spirit could have been.
The next question is, I suppose, why ought libraries, archives and museums be concerned about working together in support of research at all. We can take the high moral ground and declare that service to scholarship or at least its practitioners demand cooperative activities because researchers themselves do not necessarily divide up their informational needs along the lines of our organizational models. We divide the world. Books, papers, stuff. But users want to bring it together; they want answers and we give them a roadmap. I suspect that exposure to the undifferentiated mass of web-based resources reinforces the expectation of comprehensiveness when researchers put questions to reference staff, to our online catalogs, or to Internet Explorer. Or the rationale could be totally pragmatic. In a world where educational and cultural institutions face dwindling financial support, both private and public, none of us will thrive unless we can make the case that we provide compelling, essential and unique value to a significant public. One way to do that is to leverage our resources by working with partners. I write this on Independence Day and am reminded of Benjamin Franklin's supposed admonition about hanging together lest we hang separately. To my mind and in this institution, that means delivering services that are organized around our patrons' needs and not our professional sensibilities.
So when we were discussing the name for our blog, you'd think I would have come up with it myself. But it was Walt Crawford who suggested it after asking what the topic was. When we said the intersection of the three communities, he said, "How about 'hanging together?' " Again, a reference to the Franklin remark.
Whether or not it's apocryphal, this story has become part of America's Independence Day folklore. Interestingly, the phrase is a declaration or a statement of dependence, a recognition that unity makes us stronger. As with the colonies, so too with libraries, museums, and archives, or the LAM communities. We have more common interests than differences, so why not band together when practical? We all share interests in collecting materials, describing our holdings, making them available and useful for the public, preservation, and resource sharing. There are also practical reasons for "hanging together," in an era of decreased funding and rapid technological changes.
In other words, the three communities in the information sector (or the cultural heritage sector) should find ways to work with one another that don't compromise necessary and rational independence. In forming a new nation, Georgia maintained its own distinct character from, say, Massachusetts. So too, the LAM communities should continue to maintain their own culture, traditions, and unique viewpoints, while finding the way forward together.

This unusual drama, tinged with fantasy, was scripted by Frank Hannah and the director Wayne Kramer, and takes advantage of its setting in one of the most cinematic of cities, Las Vegas. It also provides character actor Macy with a name above the title starring role for a change, even if the role is the typical loser he could by now play in his sleep. I've never heard of any poor soul who has so much bad luck it can detrimentally influence the people around him, and it's true the workings of this contrivance do show, but the film doesn't suffer from it, and enhances its background of dangerous gangsters looking after their interests, gambling tables and cheesy nightclub performers.
There are some nicely sketched, casual illustrations of Bernie's ill fortune in the opening minutes. He always asks for cream in his coffee but the cream always runs out just as its being poured, the prostitute who lives next door to him always has her bed too close to the wall, resulting in frequent night time thumping, and to top it all his cat has run away. On the other hand, Natalie is taking an interest in him, and when she discovers that he is planning to leave town, she wastes no time in taking him to bed (did we really need to see Macy naked?). As engagingly played by Bello, Natalie is a loser like Bernie, neither of them are getting any younger, and she is making her living as a waitress while regretting not having done more with her life, like not giving her son up for adoption when she was a teenager.
There's a generation gap here, not so much between the characters' ages, but between their points of view. Shelly doesn't see that his casino needs a refurbishment, regarding himself and his establishment as the last classy institution in a Vegas that has become tacky and populist in the worst sense. His business partners disagree, and plan to knock the place down to rebuild it as just the sort of place Shelly detests. The up and coming individuals just don't have the taste of the old timers, as illustrated by the ageing Tony Bennett-style nightclub singer (Paul Sorvino) replaced by "the new Harry Connick jr", complete with strippers. Then there's Bernie's lowlife son (Shawn Hatosy), who reappears with a pregnant girlfriend (Estella Warren) looking for easy money - the old guard are being forced out by new blood, and things are going downhill.
Bernie's relationship with Shelly is an interesting one, as they are the only real friends each other have. This despite Shelly nearly crippling Bernie's knee some time ago over a gambling dispute, and selfishly needing him around to make sure the money rolls in instead of rolling out. When Natalie and Bernie genuinely fall in love, the cooler's bad luck abruptly changes to good, and his effect on the punters is disastrous for the Shangri La, with big wins springing up all over. Now the couple are in trouble, and as Shelly does his best to separate them the film turns violent; Baldwin is excellent at showing how the old way of life can be just as unforgiving as the new - but his proud, cold heart can only take so much as he still knows the meaning of respect. The Cooler may be artificial in its set up, but it all fits together very well, with fine performances easing the story along. Music by Mark Isham.

Sailors sign up for Bay Regatta
PHUKET, 25 January 2018: More than 250 sailors representing 21 nationalities have signed-up for the iconic The Bay Regatta scheduled for 31 January to 4 February, in Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi provinces.
The four-day regatta sails around Phang Nga Bay with stops at a different anchorages each evening, The Bay Regatta is famous for visiting some of the region's best beachfront spots.
Often referred to as the "fun regatta" it races around the famous island outcrops that dot the bays of Phang Nga and Krabi.
"While most regattas head to open water, we race around the islands and why wouldn't you when you have the spectacular scenery of Phang Nga Bay on your doorstep," commented Regattas Asia managing director of organisers Kae Wattana.
The fleet of more than 30 boats are split into six classes. In the racing class crews from Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Russia will compete for the title.
Last year's winner, Megazip, is back to defend its crown and will be reigniting rivalry with the well-prepared and campaigned Beneteau First 44.7 Fujin. However, the Hong Kong-registered Red Rum and Vitalii Plaksin's Farr One Ton, Uminoko, who placed first in the Phuket King's Cup Regatta 2017 Cruising class, are expected to be in the mix.
A strong line-up of locally-based cruisers will be split into Cruising A and Cruising B classes, and all are in with a chance. Baby Tonga returns and is looking to improve on their second place last year, while Fargo Express (second in IRC 2 at the 2017 Phuket King's Cup Regatta) will be one to watch. In the Bareboat Charter class, which has seen a 40% growth in entries this year, crews are looking forward to some friendly competition in one of the best cruising destinations the world has to offer.
The 10-strong multihull fleet will be split into two class – Multihull Racing and Multihull Cruising. Last year's Multihull Racing winner, Twin Sharks, is back to defend their title and under the experienced leadership of skipper John Newnham will be hard to beat. Expect the Stealths – Asia Catamarans Hurricane, Phantom V and Twister 2 – however, not to follow script and be racing hard like usual, as will the smaller multis in the class – Bladerunner 9, off-line and Fugazi. In the Multihull Cruising class, Rick Fielding's Mojo are hoping to make it two wins in a row and will be going head-to-head with Raptor 2001, a regular on Thailand's sailing scene.
Now in it's 21st year, The Bay Regatta continues to showcase the beauty of the Andaman Triangle (Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi) – the islands, beaches and hidden coves – and combines this with a fun beachfront social programme.
The Bay Regatta is organised by water sports event management company Regattas Asia.

This book is the diary of Dabbous' imprisonment, but it is also a tribute to the people of Syria, who have never given up hope despite the horror that surrounds them. On April 3, 2013, Susan Dabbous, a Syrian-born journalist, was kidnapped along with three other Italian reporters in the Christian village of Ghassanieh, Syria by Jabhat al-Nusra, a branch of al-Qaeda. They were captured in front of a desecrated church where they were shooting a documentary for RAI TV. After being taken to a prison-house, Dabbous was subsequently separated from her colleagues and moved to a flat with Miriam, the wife of one of the jihadi, who was to be her new prison warden. It was up to Miriam to see to Dabbous' "Islamicisation", and with her, she prayed and listened to speeches given by Osama bin Laden. It was also with Miriam that Dabbous was made to reflect upon a question asked of her during her imprisonment, "What is you favourite way to die?" Dabbous' answer to this question was sincere, "because when you are a hostage you do not lie. So I spoke to her woman-to-woman, using a language that was mainly made up of emotions." After eleven days, they were set free after an agreement was reached with the Italian secret service. After a brief stay in Italy, Susan set off again for Lebanon, where she has been living for more than a year. It was during this time in Lebanon that she discovered that her friend in the village of Atme, Syria had been tortured solely to extract information about her.

About Ike
If you missed them, Part 1 & Part 2.
Jerrold smiled, showing her all his teeth. Elizabeth was paralyzed by the sight. It wasn't just the ferocity of his smile that made her feel detached from her own body, it was the stains that were between his teeth. They were dark red, just like the stains on his shirt.
"What evil have you done?" she whispered.
"You'll know soon enough," he said.
He began to move towards her.
Elizabeth gathered up the folds of her skirt and pulled a quick knot into the fabric so it wouldn't trip her up.
"Go now, Jerrold. If you run now you can be halfway to Halifax before they mount a serious chase. You leave us be and we'll let you have that head start," Elizabeth said. She didn't mean a word of it, but she had lied to Jerrold before and thought it was worth a shot.
"I just want to reunite you and your sisters with your parents, sweet Beth. Take the gift of my hand."
He reached out his hand and she saw that it was cracked with drying blood. The hand he kept at his side held the sailor's knife. That was the real gift that he wanted to give her.
"Never," Elizabeth said. She considered her options. If they were following orders, her sisters would be up the hill due east, hiding in the place where the rock ledge poked through the thin dirt. Their father had never bothered to clear the trees around that ledge. He didn't trust that land for crops or cows. Jerrold didn't know all the cracks and crevices of those rocks, but the girls did.
Elizabeth would run and veer south to lead Jerrold away from that place.
He was slowly stalking towards her, as if she wouldn't run as long as he moved carefully enough.
"Last chance," she said. "I'm going to run into Foster's field, stick to the edge of the river, and I'll be all the way to the church in an hour. That's how much freedom you have left unless you leave right this instant."
"Take my gift," he said with another chilling smile.
Elizabeth turned and ran.
She heard Jerrold thundering after her.
Her steps were light and carefully placed. She swept up the path and through the thicket like a ghost. Jerrold sounded like he was tripping on every root and colliding with every tree. In no time, she could hear that her lead was opening up. Now fifty paces behind her, Elizabeth heard Jerrold exclaim with a frustrated cry. She paused to catch her breath.
One spring a crazed moose had stumbled out of the woods with swarms of biting flies circling its head. The beast had heaved its dying breaths with blood dripping from its mouth, utterly exhausted. That's the way that Jerrold looked. He had already spent his energy and Elizabeth had only reached the edge of the property.
"Come on, Jerrold. Bring me your gift," she called.
His head bobbed as he panted and spat.
She took a few steps back towards him.
"Jerrold?"
He turned and looked back in the direction of the house. Elizabeth's veins were shot through with ice. If he went back now, there was no telling where her sisters would be.
"Jerrold! Come back. Come show me your gift."
He was turning to walk back towards the house.
"Jerrold!"
She took a few steps towards him and froze. Her mother had always told her that her greatest strength was her ability to see both sides of an argument.
"That's the key to your empathy," her mother said. "You can hold two things in your mind at once."
At the moment, it didn't feel like a strength to Elizabeth. She had two ideas in her head—go back to distract Jerrold so he wouldn't find her sisters, or keep running until she found help. Her sisters should be able to hide for a couple of hours until help could come riding back on their fastest horses.
She had almost made her decision when Jerrold called.
"Audrey! Carol! Margaret! Your sister tripped and I caught her. Come say goodbye before I slit her throat."
Elizabeth held her breath and heard her youngest sister scream. Apparently, Jerrold had caught his breath enough to run. He was headed for the rock ledge. Elizabeth sprinted after him. When he got back to the river path, he paused again. Elizabeth kept running. She didn't know what she would do when she caught him.
"Girls? Where are you?"
Margaret screamed once more and Jerrold started into the woods.
"No!" Elizabeth yelled. "I'm right here, Jerrold. Come to me."
He turned and stopped her with his hungry smile.
Elizabeth took a step back. Her foot rammed into a rock and she stumbled before crashing to the ground. A stick tore a long hole in her sleeve and scraped her skin.
Jerrold laughed.
They both heard Audrey's voice from up the hill. She was standing in the middle of the path with her hands clasped behind her back like this was all a game.
"Jerrold! Come find me. I'm even closer."
Audrey slipped behind a tree with a laugh.
"I'll give you all my gift," Jerrold said, slashing his knife in the direction that Audrey had disappeared. The distraction had given Elizabeth enough time to scramble to her feet, but she was unsteady. Jerrold began to pace towards her again.
Carol appeared from behind a rock. She was only five paces from Jerrold.
"I'm right here, Jerrold. Where's your gift?"
With an animal grunt he lunged towards her. Carol slipped back behind the rock and from her vantage point Elizabeth saw her sister run down the hill, using the rock as cover. When Jerrold finally came around to the other side of the boulder, Carol was gone.
Elizabeth took the opportunity to duck behind one of the giant oaks. She held perfectly still and listened for Jerrold's frustrated scream. A moment later, Margaret called to him.
"Jerrold, we're over here. Please come give us our gifts."
The game continued until the sun faded. It was easy to track him as he stumbled around the woods in the dying light. Jerrold made a racket with each step. The girls called and hid. They lured him and then froze. As he tired himself out, he began to trip and stumble more often. Limping and panting, he leaned against one of the rock walls that the girls liked to climb. At the top, Audrey stood holding the biggest rock she could lift.
"Girls?" Jerrold yelled. "Come get…"
He didn't seem to have the strength to finish.
"From our parents," Audrey called as she dropped the rock.
He looked up as the rock came down. It slipped by his face as close as a razor and cracked through his shoulder. Jerrold collapsed to his knees. The knife fell out of his hand when he tried to raise his arm.
Turning up towards the darkening sky, he screamed.
Audrey went to find another rock. When she returned to the ledge and looked down, she couldn't see him in the shadows. She stood there until Elizabeth's hand landed on her shoulder and pulled her back.
"Listen," Elizabeth said.
Just above the sounds of the night, they could hear the desperate cries of the horses. When they reached the flat part of the trail, they found their sisters. All four girls looked across the creek to where the barn was ablaze in the night.
"Will it catch the house?" Carol asked.
"The wind is going the wrong way," Audrey said.
Elizabeth clenched her jaw. It was the kind of lie they always said to Carol to ease her mind.
"It doesn't matter," Margaret said. "That's not our home anymore."
"What do you mean?" Carol asked.
"This is our home now. We're a part of these woods," Margaret said.
None of them spoke for a few seconds.
"Come on," Elizabeth said. "We have a long walk ahead of us in the dark. Sooner started, sooner finished."
The oldest sister herded them all into a group and pointed them in the direction of the path that led to Foster's field. Audrey was in the lead and Elizabeth brought up the rear. After only a few paces, Audrey stopped dead in her tracks. The sisters fanned out to either side of her. They all saw what she saw.
Ahead, the trees closed in over the path. Their way was lost to complete darkness. Continuing forward would be an act of pure faith. That's not what had stopped Audrey though.
What stopped Audrey was the break in the blackness. Hovering above the path, roughly the height of an average man, two yellow lights gleamed at them like eyes. As they watched, they saw a glowing, hungry smile appear just below.
A voice whispered to them on the wind. "I haven't showed you my gift yet."
Nobody found any trace of Jerrold or the girls after that night. Their story was reconstructed and told by a local woman who had the gift of hearing the voices of the dead.
Decades after, local children invented a game. Walking on that same path on a night like this, they learned that if they called to the sisters, the girls would answer. The girls had become a part of the woods.
That's the story I like to tell after we've had dinner, lit a bonfire, and then walked through the woods.
During the walk, when we're deep in the dark, I'll ask everyone to stop and we'll call for the girls one at a time. If everyone holds their breath and stays perfectly quiet, we always hear an answer.
