The union says that Safeway and Albertsons are “holding hands” with King Soopers to try and cut workers’ healthcare benefits, saying earlier this week that the company is backtracking on an agreement for retroactive pay and benefit increases, which the labor union cited as an unfair labor practice.

Brunhilde's mother dragged her away.
"Hey! Hey! Are you going to go on #strike?" the owl said, from a tree.
The bear stood and scraped his back against the trunk, shaking the tree.
The owl clamped his feet on a branch until hornets, disturbed from their nest, began to swarm around him. (3/3) #wss366

*** Leaf ***

Did I just see that?

I would have missed it entirely if she hadn’t winked at me. It was a bold, brassy move and totally unnecessary. Unless, of course, the whole point was to catch my attention.

With that wink, she slipped past the guards and vanished. Just like that. Not even Lynokis had seen her do it. Could someone really have that much chi and still hide it so completely that I would miss it? The crowd at the stage door was dense, but not so dense that I wouldn’t notice that much chi. Warriors and adventurers were so thick that the air reeked of untapped chi, like the air at a wrestling match: musky, dense, and strong. But hers was smoke, soft, weightless. I would have missed it without the wink.

Unbelievable as it was, she had hidden it even from me. I’d been so focused on “strength” that I forgot “lithe.” I had never considered that approach. My heightened reflexes made me superhumanly fast, but this was different. Minimal force, perfectly timed. A leaf toppling an oak.

I had to find this person. They could teach me so much. An oak is easy to find, but a leaf... less so. Still, I had seen her now, and I would find her again.

My billion kram had earned me a place near the stage, and a royal decree had exempted me from active filming during the ceremony. Not even my director, Bendelio, could overrule the king.

Bendelio, take that!

It was almost as good as punching him in the face. A double chi strike. One! Two! I could feel his jaw fracture. I’ll get you one of these days, Bendelio.

But no, there he was with his peculiar smile, directing the filming. After the awards ceremony, he’d booked me back-to-back interviews with star contestants. I couldn’t even count the number. That evil man, how I hated him.

Wait, there it was. A flicker of chi to the right of the stage!

Center stage!—There she was, flaming red hair and a toothy smile.

Everyone looked confused. Where had she come from?

A bow and a look in my direction. No, a look at me! Our eyes met for a second. A wink as if to say, “See, I struck again!”

Then she and the trophy were gone. A leaf on the wind.

There was no mistaking it; that was a challenge. When I catch up with you, Miss Flaming Hair, you’re either going to teach me your tricks or I’m going to pound you into dust. Pow! Crumpled leaf dust.
