In the Shadows........

"There's no such thing" she insisted.
"Just because you haven't seen one,"
I countered, "doesn't mean they don't exist."
"They look just like regular owls," I said,
"except for their beaks, which look really weird."
Vampire owls.  The new screech in the night.

Easter Island....

"No, they're not big stone rabbits, silly," she said with a smirk.
"Yes they are," I replied, "Theo sent me a postcard!!!"
"I would have seen it on the web, or least in a TV documentary

"It's the kind of thing they do not want the general public to know,"
I countered, as I handed her the picture postcard (see below).
She glanced at the card, then quickly tore it to shreds and stomped off.
"Ahhh, alone at last," I thought to myself, "almost like on an island."
