Hello. And welcome. To my favorite murder. The mini-sode. Yep. Yep. You agree? I think I think so.
Okay, well, think about it and get back to me. Circle back whenever you have a chance after the holidays.
In the meantime, should I read you a story? Mm-hmm. Okay. Should I go first? Yeah? Please do. Okay, this is called Family Vacation Turned Claustrophobic Escape Mission. Okay. Karen, Georgia, and Co. Y'all have been my constant companions for years, and I can't believe I'm just now writing in. During a recent catch-up on Minisodes, I heard you ask for disaster vacation stories. So here's mine. In the mid-zero-zeros... What was that? Otts?
Otts, yeah. I like mid-zero-zeros better, though. Mid-zero-zeros.
Mid-zero-zeros. My family went on a trip to Prince Edward Island. My little sister and I, insufferable pre-teen book nerds, were hoping to see every place mentioned in Anne of Green Gables. My dad had other plans. His goal was to visit all the lighthouses on the island. There are over 50. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's a lot of driving around on a vacation.
To get out to a point, the end of a jetty. To look at a fucking thing, yeah. To look at a similar thing over and over. Exactly.
On a drive to the capital city of Charlottetown, or Charlottetown, Charlottetown probably, Our dad spontaneously took us to check yet another lighthouse on his list. We were the only people there when we arrived, so we went to take a couple photos. My sister and I had long since clued into the meaning of the phrase, if you've seen one, you've seen them all. So we weren't too keen to stay for very long. We were about to ask our parents to leave when they saw two college-age girls trying to climb up from the rocky shore with their bicycles.
Hmm.
My dad asked if they needed help, and boy, did they. Turns out they worked for a cruise ship that was docked in the city, and since they had the morning off, they asked a local boat guy, and it says captain, to ferry them across the bay so they could bike back into town on the scenic shoreline. When they got halfway across the bay, the boat guy turned off the engine and began pressuring them to drink and take off their clothes since it was so hot." Ugh. They were stuck for hours with this creep on open water before he finally brought them to the lighthouse. He boasted that they would come crawling back to him because he was their only way back to the city dock before their cruise ship left.
Fucking asshole.
I know. The lighthouse was so remote, there wasn't a visitor center where they could get help or any other houses or businesses, and no one had a cell phone. The girls frantically asked us if we could drive them somewhere and call a cab, and it says, and the police. Oh, my God.
Undeterred, my handyman dad was able to, and then it says, dismantle their bicycles to fit in the trunk while my mom squished the girls and me in the back seat and then shoved my little sister on the floor of the passenger seat between her legs.
