Elizabeth sighed, paused Jacobson’s narrative and stretched out in her chair.

Over the years she had treated a number of such patients … intelligent, combative, always gnawing at some unseen bone … ravenous compulsions born of an inferiority complex that usually started in early childhood.

She took a bathroom break and to the office kitchenette. She wanted tea and while the kettle began to heat up, Elizabeth checked her email on her smartphone.

There were emails from Max—nothing urgent—Lars and Nasrin about PIG business, as well as a stream of emails from her dean at Georgetown, a water bill that was overdue, bank notifications and a lot of spam.

Elizabeth’s thumb poised over one email for deletion when she froze.

The only word in the subject was “introduction.” It was from freyjavanirlistens@onion.

The kettle screamed.

Elizabeth looked closer at the web address … Freyja Vanir, from the original tribe of Norse gods, of which Freyja was a survivor among the AEsir, the more celebrated tribe that includes Odin, Thor, Loki and the like.

Elizabeth rushed back to her office, opened her laptop and responded to the email with a simple, “got your message.” The reply was near instant.
