Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Trans Fishers
Sitting with Cherie in the cafeteria, Basil looked at his dad's journal. Barrage only gave the name Trans Fishers, said he partnered them together. Flipping through the pages, Basil scanned them to see if the name Trans Fishers was anywhere in them.
Finally, he did find it! In the very last entry which lasted some thirty-five pages!
Fishers must be going on seventy-six by now. That means he is retired… I'll never live to see retirement… He's lucky. He wasn't so bad and I thank him for partnering me with Wendell and Veronica when we were working on that play. He's a good man. Undeniably odd but still a good man.
Basil read it to Cherie.
"What does he mean by undeniably odd? Is there any specifics or anything like that?" she asked.
"No, just that." Basil sighed. He really wished that Tina didn't have class or that Lee wasn't busy with something else. "And there is no picture in this thing so we have no idea what he even looks like." Basil looked around. "And on a side note, the name makes me think of Terence Fisher, the director of 'The Curse of Frankenstein.'"
"I haven't heard of that, is it any good?" asked Cherie.
"Not as good as the Kenneth Branagh film but it is fantastic." Basil nodded. "Frankenstein is played by Peter Cushing."
Cherie blinked. "Actually, I think I might have seen it. Who else stars?"
"Christopher Lee as the Monster."
"The guy from 'Lord of the Rings?'"
"Yeah!"
"Actually, I have seen that!" Cherie smiled. "It is good!"
"Yeah, it's weird how much Trans Fishers sounds like Terence Fisher." Basil tapped his finger on the page of his father's journal. "And you know what? Terence Fisher died in 1980 at the age of seventy-six, my dad said that Trans Fishers is seventy-six this year.
Cherie's eyes widened. "How is that for coincidence?" Was there such a thing as coincidence around here?
