wondrous discovery
As a young girl Camille spent a lot of time in the meadows that were surrounding the cottage she was living in. Her favorite time of the year was the beginning of summer.
One day, after hours of meandering through the fields, she lied down in the grass to enjoy the last sun rays before dusk. While unwinding she started to think about her favorite fruit - pineapple. She loved its taste and exotic appearance. When she opened her eyes she spotted something rather wondrous… pineapples were floating above her. She reached out to grab one of them but much to her surprise her hand went right through it. They were not tangible, but still, they were there.
From this day on Camille knew that she has a gift. Whenever she would think about something, it would manifest itself in front of her eyes. Later on in her life she discovered and mastered another two supernatural abilities - the arts of levitation and time travel.
departure delayed
Oh my... I really should be going, this phone call comes in such an inconvenient moment…
I really need to end this talk, the professor will not be able to wait...
Oh good, he’s about to hang up.... “Good bye”.
Camille closed her eyes, squeezed her hands and departed.
Dear Camille,
I hope this letter finds you well. I couldn’t be at the harbor as planned, because of some unexpected interferences. I left some clues for you on my last visit at the harbor. They will lead you to a photograph of the man you are looking for. I will contact you again when I know more about the others.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Hinterland
After her visit at the harbor Camille returned to her apartment.
She took another look at the photograph that the professor left for her, when she realized that she has seen his face somewhere before. “ Yes, I remember, the magazine!… But where did I put it?”
Camille closed her eyes and visualized the magazine.
She found the article about two biologists, a man and a woman. They conduct a research study about the adaptation of plants to climate change. The man looks like the one on the photograph.
“I guess I found two of the selected candidates already. Hopefully I will get more information about the third one soon.”
