Heal Union 1: The 2015 spring series begins
Light Lincoln Lee "We in Virginia Reb?"
“Not today Yank.”
“Where we at?”
“Lee’s.”
“Robert E.’s?”
“No,” clarified Johnny Reb.
“Just a dude named Lee ...”
“Lee was a soldier,” added Reb, “US Army.”
“Lee around?”
“He’s a Spirit – like us.”
“I get it,” Gus noted.
“Let’s go inside – there’s something to show you.”
“Sounds fun.”
“You get to make a choice Yank.”
“Choice? – Spirits don’t get many choices Reb,” Gus paused, “that’s more of a human thing.”
“Different today.”
“A kind day, eh?”
“We’ll see …”
Johnny's Gus Choices “Fancy pictures Reb.”
“They’re the choices Gus.”
“How so?”
“Pick one, you know.”
“Well, what’s an I-star?”
“Goddess.”
“Okay,” Gus smiled and continued, “and the 'Love Fever' gents in the middle …”
“The O’ Jays.”
“… Well, one’s gotta say love fever looks happy.”
“Agreed.”
“Pilgrim’s Progress,” observed Gus, “why that’s one we both know, eh’ Johnny?”
“True.”
“And another goddess.”
“Correct.”
“Choosing between goddesses,” Gus pondered, “there’s probably a fair amount of stories written on that.”
“Paris.”
“No Reb," Gus offered, "pretty sure that’s a city in France, yet what we have here is obvious.”
“It is.”
“Yeah – I figure you want me to pick the middle one, the one with those three rebels.”
“Rebels?”
“Yeah, they dress like rebels,” Gus followed, “you know, no uniforms and wear whatever.”
“Oh.”
“What army they in?”
“Arts.”
“Art’s got an army?”
“Sure.”
“Art’s Army,” Gus stated, “bunch of rebels, eh’?”
“Is that your choice Yank?”
“Sure is, the O’ Jays: now what?”
“Nothing.”
Reb Yank Fade “Nothing?”
“Nothing today,” explained Reb, “yet a choice yields results.”
“Like volunteering.”
“Right Gus, like volunteering.”
“Reb, I can’t see anymore … can you?”
“Barely.”
“Time to fade, eh’ Johnny?”
“Time.”
“The O’ Jays,” Gus expressed, “their love fever looks constitutional.”
“You don’t say.”
“Yeah – and there was a doll at the beginning … did Lee have a …”
“Gladys.”
“Nice … Hey, is Virginia next?”
“We’re on our way.”
“Great.”
“Thanks Gus ~ you’re okay!”
“Thanks Johnny ~ you too!”
