The McMurtrie Building, Rolt Heights [88,12]
Isabel "Bizzy" Bowers of Malibu, California, USA, is the proprietor of Book Bizarre in the beautiful McMurtrie Building [88,12] in Rolt Heights. She was visiting cousins in Malton when the outbreak began, trapping her as it did so many others.
There are whispers around the neighborhood, not even rumours really, that Bizzy must be a witch because in spite of all the attacks, the interior of the book shop is still lovely. Bizzy just smiles and shakes her head, then laughs that if she were actually in league with the forces of darkness she'd be doing a lot better than an odd store on the edge of a ruined city. We aren't so sure. "People make their own luck. It's old saying but it's true," Bizzy assures us with a wink and encouragement to finish our coffee cake. She thanks us for coming by to interview her and bustles off, exuding an air of invincibility, to polish some brass or whip up a new batch of blueberry scones in her fabulous shop.
The Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year in the Oriental calendar. In 2019, the Western date is August 15th. (In 2020, the Western date falls on September 2nd.) During this month, people leave treats out for the restless dead to enjoy, so they do not feel forgotten. Ancestors and deceased loved ones are prayed for; special afterlife [faux] money, incense and candles are burned, so they have things they can use where they are now*.
