Found

Found Part 1

We occasionally lose one. Always a Female. It's pretty hard to lose a Looper. In 1947 Prince George BC, a 30 year old nurse was walking home at night. She was attacked by a wolf. One of the local loggers heard her scream and when he found her, he shot the wolf in the head. The Looper might have survived this, but he couldn't survive the town Vet dissecting him to look for signs of rabies.

Alice went home to her family. She raised her two little girls who had the best looking mom of any of their highschool friends. She grieved her husband when he died of a heart attack, aged 72, thirty years after the attack. She blamed her youthful appearance on good genes and clean living.

By the time she retired, age 63, she had done what Female do. She made the whole town her pack. That isn't to say that she infected everyone, but rather that she knew everyone. All of their secrets. Their hopes and dreams and fears.

Her daughters had moved away for university and gotten married by the time that Alice really noticed something was wrong. It was just that she had no idea what to do about it. The town doctor teased her for complaining she was too healthy.

Alice shrugged and opened a bakery.

Her daughters sent pictures of them and their families. But the time her grandchildren were in high school, her daughters looked older than she did.

Alice used her volunteer position at the hospital to register a fake birth in 1971. The way things were going, it seemed like it would come in handy.

In 1995 she sold the bakery and moved two towns over. When she received her new driver's licence at her new address, she filed a complaint with the DMV that her licence was incorrect. She might be a mature looking 21 year old, but she clearly did not look 78. Since it was obviously a transcription error, 1917 instead of 1971. Two years later Alice the second filed a missing person's complaint saying that her eighty year old grandmother had wandered out of the house in the night.

The police search turned up nothing. Alice was declared legally dead two years later. She used her insurance money to buy a computer and take some distance ed university courses in Pre - Nursing.

Alice convocated top of her class in 1999 and got a full time job nursing in Smithers BC. It reminded her of Prince George when she had settled there with her husband in the 1940's.

Her wedding band still fit.
