Fictional memoir: Instead of writing a paper for the Fortnightly due in two weeks, the author flies to New Hampshire to find out what happened to a missing favorite niece, who didn't answer her phone call. A harrowing story follows. There is a search for the fifteen-year-old niece, who was abducted from her room at school. Her aunt, of course, solves the mystery and saves her niece from a terrible fate. Barbara had two weeks to select a topic and write her Fortnightly paper before she was due to read it. She got a call from her niece at boarding school during which call the niece spoke about a strange man in a red plaid shirt driving a red Toyota hanging around her dorm. Although the niece promised to phone later that night, no call came. Barbara tried calling her room and let it ring until a sleepy girl in a room next door came to the phone. Her niece’s room was messed up but no niece. Barbara called security and hopped on the next plane to New Hampshire. The rest of the paper tells of the search for the missing niece. Barbara’s planned paper never got written.
