A Sad Dealing in Aruba

Friday, June 10, 2005

Thursday night had sent Collette through the bouts of an incredible headache. It was a monster. She knocked off at 9:30pm, due to the throbbing of her head, and awoke at midnight as it had worsened. After sitting up a time with OLeif and praying a bit, she took a much needed ibuprofen and soon fell asleep again. She had experienced such sinus headaches while in Maine almost exactly one year before, and they were dastardly evil imps, she concluded.

There was news of a kidnapping in Aruba. A young girl, Natalee, had taken a senior class trip to the desert island. As it was rumored, Natalee attended a party one evening, walked off with two native fellows, and was never heard from again. The FBI had already cased the island, and the search would no doubt take them further into the Caribbean. It was a sad misfortune.
