Tale of the Dead Town
“Taking advantage of her employer’s departure for a town meeting, the mayor’s maid Nell snuck into the garden. Checking to see that no one else was around, she called out, “Ben!” Her muscular paramour from the cleaners didn’t answer.

“Boo!” Ben shouted, suddenly poking his head out from behind the tree.
“Oh, Ben, don’t scare me like that!” Though relief spre...ad through her heart, an odd sense of incongruity started to gnaw at Nell. Ben didn’t quite seem like himself.
Sure, his face and his build were the same as ever, but there was something strange about him. Was that an annoying little smirk on his lips?
“What’s wrong, Nell? Do I have something stuck on my face or something?” he asked.
He sounded just like Ben, too.MoreLess
