			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well folks I have finally been able to locate a copy of the January 2002 edition of the Alfre Hitchcock magazine.  There is a seller on Ebay from Canada of all places that had a copy.  I shut my door and told me kids I was taking a nap and gave my cellphone to my mother to answer.  I began reading what may be the last thing published by our Favorite Author, Dorothy Gilman.</p>
<p>The story is not very long but it is enjoyable none the less.  It is about a young woman and her two children who end up in a small town in New Jersey.  As the story unfolds we learn that she has kidnapped her children to keep them safe from her powerful husband.  She thinks she has made a clean getaway and has finally been able to relax and enjoy being with her kids.  Suddenly she notices a man that seems to be following her.  She has only had her phone for a few weeks when in the middle of the night her first phone call is from her stalker saying the she doesn&#8217;t have longed to live.  She is befriendly by a kind by eccentric nextdoor neighbor who also happens to be born with the &#8220;gift&#8221;.  Sensing the danger surrounding the frightened young woman she offers her a place for her children to go should they need it.</p>
<p>On a scale of one to ten I would give this new short story an 8 because it is simply not long enough!</p>
<p>Sadly, this is the only copy I have found in the last 4 years of searching.  In an earlier post I had tried to get a copy from the magazine company but this edition was no longer available and they apparently do not have any way to make new ones.  Too bad they don&#8217;t have a digital version where they can just send out as many copies as are needed.</p>
