DO NOT READ

Controlling panicked denizens and having to explain to them on the disappearance of their master was not what Flora had envisioned for her life some weeks ago but that was what was happening and even the additional help the other managers were rendering was doing nothing to curb the panic that was spreading amongst the denizens of Santa Claus' workshop since his disappearance. Some wanted to leave because of the fear that they no longer had the protection of a fabled being and the others accused the managers of not doing enough to ensure the safety of their master.

The return of Frosty had calmed them down a little but it was just for the meantime and Flora knew that one day the shaky thread holding them barely together would be pulled and everything would come crashing down all around them.
