The return



Anji had no other choice than to send out a search party for Willow. What had happened to her? Why had no one heard anything from her in three months? Had a tropical fever got hold of her or had she simply refused to leave her beloved Tito’s side, cancelling her ticket home?

None of the alternatives above coincided with reality, although the last option would not have been altogether unlikely. There were several simple explanations to Willow’s disappearance from Willow’s Adventures (and none of them were because she was lacking new adventures to write about.)

Willow had made it back home. Tears in her eyes had welled out when separating from Tito over again, but she did her best to recover quickly. Luckily she had too much on her mind to let her temporal loss send her into any deep desespearation. In the mean time, Willow had become a real, live-and-flesh, librarian. She had even been offered a job surprisingly close to her idea of a dream job. Willow had moved to a new city where she knew no one. She had moved into a new home, which only lacked one very important thing in order to stay in touch with the outside world: An access to the Internet.

The fabulous library she worked at did however have an access to the Internet. It had just taken Willow more than a month to understand, that if she were to stay at work after hours, she needed some kind of nutrition stored in her drawer to avoid the panic hunger-attacks are know to cause.

Oatmeal biscuits combined with Anji’s search party has contributed to Willow’s return to civilization. It shall duly be known if anyone has noticed her disappearance.

Hi Willow,

I have missed your little stories, even though I knew about your new job and lack of internet.

Nice to have you back.

Your friend Selma,
who loved her visit to Titonia this summer
