# Mrs. Todd's Shortcut

"Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" is a short story by Stephen King, first published in the May 1984 issue of Redbook magazine, and collected in King's 1985 collection Skeleton Crew.

## Plot summary

David, friend of a caretaker named Homer Buckland, is an elderly man who is spending his later years hanging out at the local gas station in a small town. He listens to Homer narrate a tale about a woman he knew named Ophelia Todd, who was obsessed with finding shortcuts before disappearing sometime ago. Homer admired her persistence but began to have doubts regarding her infatuation of the subject. Mrs. Todd's habit of resetting her odometer shows remarkable evidence that something strange is going on. He also discovered evidence that her shortcuts are taking fewer miles than are in a straight line between the trip origin and its destination, something that would be impossible in reality. Mrs. Todd compared the shortcuts to folding a map to bring two points closer together, suggesting she had discovered a warped version of reality, akin to a wormhole.
Mrs. Todd finally convinces Homer to take one of the special 'shortcuts'. On his first trip, Homer loses his hat to the grasping arms of a living tree. Soon he encounters road signs and bizarre animals which he cannot explain. Frightened, Homer does not wish to take any more rides. He also begins to notice how Mrs. Todd is changing and growing younger with each trip she takes. The appeal of this overwhelms Homer, despite him discovering a horrifying rodent-like creature on the grille of her car which she brushes off as if it were a normal animal. She disappeared shortly after this with her husband officially declaring her dead after several years pass. After Homer returns from a trip to Vermont, David notices that he is also looking younger himself. He watches as Homer gets into Mrs. Todd's car, noting that she appears to now resemble a teenager. As the two drive off into the night, David thinks about the prospect of getting younger himself.

# Leka (island)

Leka is the main island in Leka Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 57-square-kilometre (22 sq mi) island makes up about half of the area of the municipality of Leka. The island is surrounded by dozens of smaller islands. The smaller island of Madsøya lies south of Leka, and it is connected to Leka by a short bridge. The larger island of Austra lies about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Leka. There is a ferry connection between Leka and Austra, and Austra is connected to the mainland by a bridge.
The village of Leknes is the administrative centre of Leka Municipality and it is located on the northeast part of the island. Leka Church is located on the island as well. The mountain Lekamøya lies on the southern part of the island.

## History

The island has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years, as evidenced by cave drawings in the Solsem cave at the southwest tip of the island. Dated to the Viking Age, the burial mound Herlaugshaugen is one of the largest (in Norway) from that era.

## Name

The Old Norse form of the name was Leka. The meaning of the name is unknown, but it may come from the word lekke which can mean "gravelly ground".

MV Vinalines Queen was a bulk carrier of the Vietnam National Shipping Lines, or Vinalines. On its last voyage the ship was travelling from Indonesia to China with more than 54,000 tonnes of nickel ore. The ship disappeared on 25 December 2011 and its fate was initially unknown. On 30 December 2011 a single survivor of its 23-member crew, was found by the British ship London Courage, after floating with a rescue vest for five days. He reported that the ship sank quickly in the early hours of the morning after capsizing to the left. It sank after passing the island of Luzon in very bad weather conditions in waters up to 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) deep.
The probable cause for the sinking was liquefaction of her nickel ore cargo resulting in the shifting of cargo in the holds, which destabilised the vessel causing her to sink.

# Achlya bisexualis

Achlya bisexualis is a species of water mold. It is described as being close to Achlya flagellata, differing by it striking heterothallism and less elongated gemmae.
In 1936, it was discovered that the species contains a number of hermaphrodite females, which behave as true females in the presence of strong males.
Some of the protein of Achlya bisexualis have been sequenced, such as Actin, Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 & 2, Pyruvate kinase etc.

## Geography distribution

Achlya bisexualis can be found in fresh water of many place, such as Europe, North America, Korea, South Africa, India etc.

## Reproduction

Achlya bisexualis as other Achlya has asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
One kind of asexual reproduction is vegetative reproduction. Vegetative reproduction can be process when it is fragmented. Or when the environment condition is unfavor to Achlya bisexualis it will create gammae and be cut off by hyphae.
Another way of asexual reproduction is sporulation. During sporulation, the hyphal tip which will become sporangium will slightly inflate. The nuclei and cytosol will flow into the tip. There will be a cross wall to separate sporangium and other parts, then a gray central vacuole occurs in sporangium. The sporangium will start cleavage and then become homogeneous and uninuclear. Then primary zoospores formed and come out from the tip. These primary zoospores will germinate and release secondary zoospores, secondary zoospores will germinate and release tertiary zoospores, finally tertiary zoospores will grow to new mycelium.
Achlya bisexualis is heterothallic its sex organ antheridia and oogonia will develop on different somatic hyphae. During the sexual reproduction, the female Achlya bisexualis will release Antheridial (hormone A) to let male Achlya bisexualis grow antheridial initials. Second, the male Achlya bisexualis will release hormone B to let female Achlya bisexualis form oogonial initials. Third, oogonial initials will release hormone C to let antheridial initials grow towards the oogonial initials. When the antheridia contact with the oogonial initials, it will release hormone D to let the oogonial initials form oogonia and the eggs will start differentiation. Antheridia will give one male nucleus to each eggs in oosphere then become diploid oospore. These oospore will release when the oogonial wall be degraded. These oospores will grow zoosporangium, then it will go meiosis to create zoospores. Zoospores will grow to new mycelium.

## Saprolegniasis

Achlya bisexualis also can cause saprolegniasis to fishes as other water molds. It can grow at any part of skin, gill etc. but mostly at head. It will cause damage to fish skin. There are some chemical treatments for saprolegniasis, such as Malachite Green, Formalin and Copper sulphate.

# Robert Mackreth

Sir Robert Mackreth (?1725–1819), of Ewhurst, Hampshire, was an English club owner, money lender, speculator and politician. He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of Great Britain for Castle Rising from 1774 to 1784, and for Ashburton in the Parliament of Great Britain and the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1784 to 1802.

## Life

Mackreth began life as a billiard-marker at White's Club. He acquired a vintner's business in St. James's Street, and became an assistant of Robert Arthur, the original proprietor of White's, who on his death, 6 June 1761, left the property to Mackreth, then about to marry his only child, Mary Arthur (the wedding took place in October). Mackreth managed the club through an agent, a near relation of his.
From this point Mackreth concentrated on financial speculations, with sidelines as a loan shark and bookmaker: Gilly Williams, writing to George Selwyn in 1768, mentions him as dealing heavily in the bets for and against the success of John Wilkes in the election for the City of London that year. In October 1774 he was nominated for the pocket borough of Castle Rising by the Earl of Orford, who had found him useful in business, and was in his debt.
Mackreth's reputation suffered in 1786, when he was defendant in a suit preferred by James Fox-Lane, an aristocratic member of White's, who charged Mackreth with defrauding him of his patrimony. The Master of the Rolls found that he had taken undue advantage of a young man, who was also a minor, and he had to refund £20,000. He appealed without success, first to the Lord Chancellor, and then to the House of Lords. Fox-Lane's counsel throughout the case was Sir John Scott; in 1792 Mackreth accosted Scott in Lincoln's Inn Fields, called him a liar and a scoundrel, and challenged him to a duel, for an alleged insult in one of his speeches in 1786. Eldon ignored the challenge, but brought an action for assault against Mackreth, who was sentenced by the court of King's Bench to six weeks' imprisonment and a fine, for a breach of the peace.
Politically, Mackreth backed Lord North, and then Richard Rigby. Later he supported William Pitt the Younger. He sat in the House of Commons for Ashburton from 1784 to 1802; and on 8 May 1795 he was knighted by George III. Withdrawing from parliamentary life in 1802, he retired to his estate at Ewhurst, near Basingstoke. He added to, besides his house property in London, an estate in Cumberland and a plantation in the West Indies. He died in London in February 1819, in his ninety-fourth year. His wife had died at Putney on 3 June 1784.
