Margaret was exhausted after her grandmother's funeral. She remained behind, in her grandmother's house to tidy up and to start boxing her grandmother's items away.
Her grandmother was a collector of sorts and had numerous items that were antiques hidden away in her two-story home.
Her grandmother's favorite item was an old, bronzed, antique phone. In this era, no one used house phones. Margaret knew this as fact because she remembered this phone never had service. Never rang. Until tonight.
"BBBBRRRIINNNGGG!" Margaret turned towards the sound.
A creeped-out Margaret picked up.
"Don't you sell my stuff!"
"GRANDMA?" Margaret gasped.

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.
