Cassie Greenaway’s Grandmother gasped, when she came back to the room, and found that Cassie wasn’t there.

Then, when she heard a news bulletin where the announced said that an eco-terrorist had just interrupted the UN session on climate change, demanding immediate action, calling herself, the news said, “The Windigo”.

Somehow, she knew that it was her Granddaughter.

-----------------------------------------------------

Cassie Greenaway was a Graduate Student at University College. Her specialty was organic agriculture.  

The main focus of her research was companion planting, specifically The “Three Sisters”, the main agricultural crops grown by some Native American nations in North America: winter squash, maize (corn), and climbing beans (tepary beans or common beans).

Cassie’s asthma, allergies, and sensitivities were mostly manageable.

But, she didn’t know that another Grad Student was not only making her sick, with her perfume; but, also contaminating her specimens, which mutated her, in ways that weren’t fully known, yet.

When Cassie went to see her Aunt Carol, a Naturopathic Doctor, in the city, her Grandmother was there. She the oxygen on; and told Cassie to try and stay comfortable, while she phoned Carol’s office.

Then, Cassie saw, the news that the UN was stalled, again, on their Climate Change and environmental talks.

Without knowing how it happened, she was there, at the UN headquarters, warning them that they were “Eating your children’s’ future!”

And, then in the next moment, she had vanished, again.

Fortunately, for Cassie, with the respirator over her face, goggles pulled down to shield her eyes from glare, and the portable oxygen cylinder, in her backpack, no one could tell that she was the person the media were calling “The Windigo”.

Notes:

[1] The Windigo, in Algonquian folklore, is a monster in the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of the United States and Canada.^[4] 

The legend lends its name to the medical term “Wendigo Psychosis”.^[6]

 In some Indigenous communities, environmental destruction and greed are also seen as a manifestation of this illness.^[7]

                                                     

[2] “An Environmental Illness can occur when a person is exposed to toxins or substances in the environment that may make them sick. These health hazards may be found anywhere in the environment.” (From WebMD)

“Millions have reported living with various Environmental Illnesses, such as Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), Toxic Injury, Chemical Injuryand/or Toxic Encephalopathy… asthma… allergies… and sensitivities…

What will happen to Cassie, next?
