Fictional Soap Opera -Tides of Manzanita – Episode 9

Submitted By: wstone1991@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Break-in Part 2

In the gripping continuation of “The Tides of Manzanita, the stakes are higher than ever as the story of courage, betrayal, and cunning unfolds under the harsh lights of City Hall.

As the episode opens, the atmosphere is tense, the air thick with the scent of impending confrontation. Ruby and Shirley, caught red-handed in their attempt to copy the suppressed investigation report, stand frozen as the door burst open, revealing their silhouetted captors and a seized Victoria. In a moment of quick thinking, Shirley deftly powers down the computer and slips the thumb drive into her pocket.

The harsh glare of the overhead lights slowly reveals the identities of the imposing figures. Councilor Jed, with a voice booming in the confined space, demands an explanation. “What in the name of Neahkahnie are you doing here?” he thunders, his suspicion palpable in the charged air.

Shirley, scrambling for a plausible excuse, stammers, “I… I lost an earring and came to get it. I know it rolled somewhere.”

Jed’s skepticism is immediate and cutting. “Lies! Did you lose it at the City Manager’s desk? Wouldn’t it be easier to search with the lights on?” He steps closer, his hand extended menacingly. “Give me what you were using to hack that computer.”

As tension mounts, the second figure holding Victoria steps forward. Stalked by this observer in Nehalem and The Cove, the mystery of the observer is revealed as the light evaporates the shadow around the face, unveiling their identity as the City Manager himself. The manager’s voice rises almost to an uncontrollable scream, “Get away from that desk, now! YOU ARE THIEVES!”

Shirley and Ruby, taken aback, realize they are facing the very owner of the password “Powerful1.” The City Manager’s presence adds a chilling new dimension to the confrontation.

The enraged manager continued, “How dare you hack my computer. You are no better than that mayor intruding on my turf with questions. Well, I took care of the mayor – got shoved out the door by the council and me in no time. Nothing happens in Manzanita without our say so. Right councilor?

Jed, seizing control of the situation, lays out their grim options: “We’ve got two choices. We can call the police, have you arrested, and I can ruin your lives. You’ll never live in Manzanita again. Or you can hand over what you took, and we can come to an understanding. You will exit city employment and neither you or I will discuss this in the future. You will sing the city’s praises and there will be no other retribution against you. One wrong word and you’ll end up no better off than the mayor.”

Shirley, thinks to herself, “I can’t afford to live here now,” then weighs their limited options. She reluctantly pulls out a thumb drive and hands over their prize. The City Manager snatches it in dramatic fashion and defiantly says, “Nobody needs to read the report about me, the mayor and any other personnel issues—you got that? It doesn’t matter how many dollars the town spends on it. I’d spend twice the money to keep it hidden. We don’t need any publicity about it. The whole thing will eventually go away!” Jed nods in agreement, his thoughts elsewhere, “We have bigger fish to fry than a buried report on a former mayor.”

As they are escorted out of City Hall, the mood among Victoria, Ruby, and Shirley is somber. Yet, as they regroup a block away, the tension breaks with a surprising revelation from Shirley. “What do you mean it’s not meant to be?” she responded to Victoria’s resigned comment. With a sly grin, she pulls another thumb drive from her pocket. “I switched the thumb drives. Here is the report. I hope they enjoy my son’s hip-hop/rap.”

Laughter breaks out among the trio, a moment of lightness as they walk away from the dark halls of power, knowing they have outsmarted their opponents. The report is free from its captivity, a secret victory in the dead of night. Victoria takes the thumb drive from Shirley and says, “I’ve got plans for this report.”

The episode closes with the women continuing their walk into the night, their laughter a testament to their resilience and cleverness. What happens next in “The Tides of Manzanita” remains to be seen. Tune in next week to find out how the town reacts when Victoria unveils the truth, and the real impact of their daring break-in begins to ripple through the foundations of Manzanita.

The Green Reaper is coming the Saturday!

Submitted By: suemcgrath069@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The day is approaching. This Saturday
the Green Reaper will appear in Nehalem!

She will talk about everything you want to know about green burial.

Elizabeth Fournier, aka The Green Reaper, will speak at the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD), 36155 9th Street, Nehalem. The presentation will be held in the Gallery Saturday, April 27 from 2:00-4:00; $10 cash at the door.

Every year conventional funerals bury millions of tons of wood, concrete, and metals, as well as millions of gallons of carcinogenic embalming fluid. There is a more environmentally conscious and affordable way, and Elizabeth Fournier, affectionately dubbed the “Green Reaper,” walks you through it. She provides comprehensive and compassionate guidance, covering everything from green burial planning and home funeral basics to legal guidelines and outside-the-box options, such as burials at sea. Fournier points the way to green burial practices that consider both the environmental well-being of the planet and the economic well-being of loved ones.

Elizabeth is the author of The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan
an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the Green Burial Council, and the owner and operator of Cornerstone Funeral Services in Boring, Oregon.

Elizabeth will have copies of her books available for purchase.

For more information on Elizabeth, visit her website: thegreenreaper.org

This event is presented by Conscious Aging and Community Connections, Manzanita.
