I snuck quick glimpses in Tom’s direction. He said he wasn’t keeping secrets from me, but I knew it with every quick breath he took. After immediately showering, dripping wet, he finally said hello. Of course, he had a big secret! I went to bed frustrated, but it didn’t take me long to fall asleep and dream up a storm. We were back in medieval times during the Black Plague. We weren’t sick, but Tom, a criminal, was subjected to one hundred lashes and tortured with fire. The heat made him jump, but that’s what he gets for his lies.


Ooh! Susi strikes another blow for the macabre.
