Mystery Solved

Mystery Island was on Eric’s to-do list. The stories were more than he could resist. The tall tales of people disappearing and strange women showing up out of nowhere made it sound like the Bermuda Triangle.

Only a handful of tourists were allowed on the island at a time to protect the fragile ecosystem. The quiet was so relaxing. Eric removed his socks and shoes and started walking in the edge of the water. It was so refreshing and soothing. He kept walking as his mind emptied. Before long he forgot his name. Then she remembered; her name is Beatrice. Yes, Beatrice.

Beatrice enjoyed the rest of the week exploring. When it came time to leave Beatrice knew where she had to go. She remembered everything Eric ever was, but she also had a feminine life, too. The tour guide saw it all before and allowed Beatrice on the boat ride home.

The neighbors never thought much about the new girl next door. People kept to themselves. They all assumed Eric moved and Beatrice moved in. She is a quiet girl and therefore welcome. Beatrice smiled when she thought of her trip to Mystery Island. To her the mystery was solved.
