<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">Eliza had stopped the RV as the nausea swept over her. Barely making outside she dry heaved what little she had eaten all over the ground. She had left the city and her friends to find a final place. The battles against the corporations were behind her, all those hours she had spent as a lawyer trying to keep business from devouring the land and the people had bought her what…pain…weakness…cancer.<br/><br/>She had taken what money she had left after nearly 3 years of fighting the BIG C. to buy the old RV.  First it was standard medicine and that had cost her first her breasts and then all her long brown hair and a great deal of money as well as suing a HMO. Then she tried herbal and holistic and even her Wiccan friends with crystals and dancing but nothing had helped. She climbed into the RV and took a swig of water. Eliza had always been a fighter. She hadn’t given up when the kids in school had picked on her about her beliefs or that she wasn’t skinny enough. She had fought her way through law school then against many businesses where she had been called a bitch and a witch and she had said she was both.<br/><br/>She had also laughed, lived fiercely and free spirited and took time to sing backup to a band that actually had sold a record. So as the lyrics played she stepped toward the front and then the pain hit her, green fire and lights surrounded her. Something was in that fire looking back at her as she retched and screamed in pain as the RV exploded around her.<br/><br/>Eliza noticed the silence first then the coolness of the air and the course rough sand. That made her realize she was naked. As she tried to sit up, dizziness and nausea made her gasp, yet this was a different sort of nausea, not the ugly dead kind she had been used too but just a sickness to the stomach. Her hands reached up to steady her head and she felt hair…silken…fine…thick HAIR! Her ice blue eyes snapped open and she saw the white strands falling past her face and she laughed as tears streaked her face…her hands moved along the hair and then she gasped as she felt her ears… pointed…uplifted…POINTED!!!<br/> <br/>Dear Goddess what has happened!<br/><br/>Eliza stood then and breathed deep, the air was crisp but that didn’t matter, she took in more and more. She felt… healthy, alive….completely great! Looking down over her body she had to smile, never in all her 45 years had she had such a shape…she was a supermodel for sure… an elf…an elf…<br/><br/>Laughing again she spun as she heard others and another woman coming over…Laughing still with tears streaking her face she stepped right up and kissed the woman…an elf also…her hands on each side of the other’s face then she laughed and spun away.<br/>“Who are we? Does it matter we are alive! Where are we? IT doesn’t matter …cant you feel it…life…health…as for what is going on? That is clearly for us to find out but I will thank the goddess every day for this gift.”<br/> Seeing a man also with red hair she laughed and almost danced to him to kiss him as well… "Cruise is it…well that’s a great name… I was Eliza though that may change”Like some sort of crazy person she slipped to the oriental woman and gave her a kiss and a hug. “Pleased to meet you Madoka..."<br/>“OHHH!! A dwarf… you are a dwarf right…Michael it is” and she bent to kiss him as well.<br/><br/>“Is it not great…we are here and alive….Thank thee goddess thank thee I will not squander this gift but live life each day to the fullest I can"<br/>Eliza lifted her arms to the sky as tears streaked her cheeks and a smile was on her pouty lips<br/></span>
