Rendezvous in Rome
“Brown bones scattered everywhere, producing a light cloud of dust.
In panic Nancy struggled to get away from the bones, yelling for help. She was dimly aware of the sound of a door slamming behind her.
Dizzy from her fall, Nancy scrambled toward the doorway, taking a mental inventory of her body as she went. She had smashed her elbow against the wall, but otherwise she felt all right.

“Yes, I’m here,” she called back.

“This was jammed against the door,” she said, her horrified gaze sweeping the tumble of bones around her. “What happened?”
