A steel whale gobbled up every auto in a parking lot and an entire line of people. It burped, clamped a hydraulic jaw shut and set sail. On shore a horn blared. The ferry shrieked, snubbing the plea. The monster left a stranger on the island of Skye, surrounded by sheep and eagles, along with souls speaking snatches of Gaelic.
The stranger could not be aware, a decree delivered that day to a young lady in a tavern. Unbelievable, in this day and age, an old scrubby Hebrides Islands tribe leader decreed twin sisters to be dashed against stone. One sister taught children Gaelic and wrote sheep thrillers, knew everything about the little dears.
I will tell you one thing about this sister, for an authority on sheep, she certainly had an impressive collection of lingerie from violet to pink.
