“What the hell?” Fiona whispered to herself, the two flyers clutched in her hands. One announced "Oscar's Outlandish Olympics," the other, "Willow's Wonderful Wine Tasting." Her heart began to pound erratically. She felt a confusing jumble of emotions: surprise, frustration, and something else... a hint of alarm.

She sat heavily on her couch, dropping the flyers beside her. She felt a strange buzzing behind her ears. This was all so bizarre. This wasn’t like them.

Fiona rested her head in her hands. The room began to swim. She closed her eyes. It was as if the fabric of her social world had been torn.
