Dear Diary,

Something bad has happened to one of the blog posters I have been reading. Her name is Freya and I am about ninety percent sure that she is telling the truth about the wind disappearing.

Well not all the winds but a particular air current that tends to her local area.

Honestly, I feel like I am back at work after all I have been through. I got out a lot of research material and have spent many trips to the library using their A2 printer and scanner to get the materials together. It means I finally have a use for all that left over arts and craft material as well.

It is pretty easy to access information about weather systems compared to a lot of things I have had to research this year, there is no real need for military silence about a hurricane. Once I had gathered it all together, I have to say the most surprising thing was there was a pattern. I did get a colleague to double check for me as my mind was already biased towards finding this result. They agreed there was some strange anomaly with the weather patterning in that region. I could of course still be suffering from confirmation bias. I could even be mixing up cause and effect here. Maybe the blog was written as a story in response to the dropped atmospheric pressure rather than the wind disappearing because the individual is missing.

After that I got a map of the settlements in the path of the missing weather system and began to piece together the clues Freya had left in her blogs about her home town. The Plant Nursery she works at, Tiffany’s bakery in the high street and the Apple Fair celebrated there annually made the task pretty simple. It may be a little harder to pinpoint her house with the information I have available here, but I know if I took a walk in her town, I could find it with no trouble at all.

With all this going on I have to say I have abandoned my routine a bit. I have stopped participating in the clubs I joined up to and have stopped responding to the few requests I get from my short friends list to meet up. I do still go to the library. In fact I go to the library more regularly than I did as I am hoping that Freya sends a more up to date blog I can work from. The more data I have the more sure I can be about what is going on.

I am pretty sure my boss would be annoyed at me if he could see me now. I think that is a good thing. I finally feel useful again. I just hope this is real. I am almost so sure it is. I just need to go check it all out for real tomorrow, I have booked my train ticket and I am absolutely terrified. Well rationally terrified. I have the risks all pinpointed down on another piece of A2.

It will be fine though. It will.

Yours Faithfully,

Rei Farrell
