Hayward shows up to say their parents have vanished ... near the Bermuda Triangle.A series of increasingly nasty pranks lead her to believe someone is out to get her.But worst of all, Christmas is only a few weeks away and she hasn't started her Christmas shopping or her holiday baking spree.It's enough to make a semi-pseudo-superhero hang up her cape!Oh, yeah, she never had one to begin with ... Copyright © 2025, Michelle L.
