Speaker 7: because you're as close to family as anyone here in town.
Speaker 7: To Jimbo and oh Courrin, Karen, he's gone. It was
Speaker 7: so awful, so so awful. At the end, they had
Speaker 7: him sedated, but he was so angry. It just cut
Speaker 7: through the haze and blood.

Speaker 6: he he'd want for you to know he he loved
Speaker 6: you like a daughter. I hope you knew that. Anyway.

Speaker 6: I wish I could see its face one more time,
Speaker 6: just one.
Speaker 5: This is how tragedy unfolds in a small town unact,
Speaker 5: a bodle and swift echoes reverberate, the effects ripple outward,
Speaker 5: and then the talk begins.
Speaker 8: And so Tom and that crazy street preacher both got it.
Speaker 8: It's Raby's they're just not telling us. But what about
Speaker 8: Jim's sweating blood? Well, super rabys stella. I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm not a doctor, but I had that a Chinese
Speaker 8: leg captain, said Bachmann, worked with the CIA for years.
Speaker 2: Heard it from a buddy at the State House. I'm
Speaker 2: telling you, it goes all the way up the ladder.
Speaker 3: I heard those CDC guys got to look at Jimbo's
Speaker 3: body and called up the National Guard like.
Speaker 5: That from who?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 5: Who'd you hear that from?
Speaker 2: My neighbor? This kid works up there at the hospital.
Speaker 9: Yeah, doctor, No, he works in the commissary.
Speaker 4: Oh shit, real inside man, you got there.
Speaker 2: You're being sarcastic.
Speaker 4: You know I have a stum as you look, Bill Reville, fine.
Speaker 5: And it spreads like wildfire, like an oil spill, like
Speaker 5: the plank.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 4: I need six draft ales, two bourbons, a Scotch and
Speaker 4: soda and a fernet for Bobby.
Speaker 5: Ugh, why Bobby?
Speaker 2: Who the hell.
Speaker 4: Knows takes like minty.
Speaker 5: Dirt to me, to each their own.
Speaker 4: Rumormell's grinding heart out.
Speaker 5: There, color me shocked. What do you hear?
Speaker 4: Rabies, government conspiracies, aliens.
Speaker 5: Wow, they're really playing the hits.
Speaker 4: No vampires shockingly not yet.
Speaker 5: Wow. Well, now I am shocked. Hold that thought, because
Speaker 5: there she was darkening my door. Sarah Beth Spalding, President
Speaker 5: of the Havoc Historical Society, real estate Maven, leader of
Speaker 5: countless history tours, most of which focused on the Great
Speaker 5: Vampire Panic, on the violence it spun on my family
Speaker 5: in particular.
Speaker 1: Miss Abbys.
Speaker 5: Miss Abbys, you must be here on business.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't normally walk into bars. Well this one,
Speaker 1: I suppose. I I suppose I'm not welcome here.
Speaker 5: Oh, on the contrary, you're quite welcome. After all, your
Speaker 5: stories have driven more than a few curious tourists in here.
Speaker 5: No matter how much I hate it, You're good for business.
Speaker 5: Oh you aren't welcome in my home, of course, God damn.
Speaker 5: What can I help you with, Sarabeth?
Speaker 1: Well, I know that this place is popular in town,
Speaker 1: I'd like to think so. I know that everyone from
Speaker 1: the police chief to the mayor to the trash men
Speaker 1: hang out in here. That is true that if there's
Speaker 1: scuttle butt to be found, you can find it here.
Speaker 5: There is a very good chance that you're right. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: It's just all very central.
Speaker 5: Is there something you need, Sarabeth.
Speaker 1: I was just I was wondering if out with it.
Speaker 8: I was wondering if.
Speaker 5: You knew anything about what the CDC. I'm afraid my
Speaker 5: connections don't go that high.
Speaker 1: I meant, if you knew anything of mister Havoc.
Speaker 5: Well, why would I? Because you've been.
Speaker 1: Seen together a couple of times. He came in here.
Speaker 1: He saved your life.
Speaker 5: What is it you're looking for?
Speaker 8: It's I have a.
Speaker 1: Child, Krin Heather, and what is happening here is terrifying,
Speaker 1: but not unprecedented. I was wondering if you had seen
Speaker 1: anything odd. This isn't a joke.
Speaker 5: I know, I know. Sorry, you just you've caught me
Speaker 5: off guard here. I know that it has to be
Speaker 5: terrifying to have a child during this sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I'm beside myself. I pride myself on being very logical
Speaker 1: in the face of historic moments. I study the evidence
Speaker 1: and make my decisions.
Speaker 8: But what is happening is heus?
Speaker 1: Yes, and I don't know what to do besides lock
Speaker 1: myself and Heather away.
Speaker 5: But what does jury Havoc have to do with this.
Speaker 1: The disease came with him at least at the same time,
Speaker 1: but like I did before with his great great great grandfather,
Speaker 1: and it seemed to go when he did.
Speaker 5: And you've come because it was an abbess who drove
Speaker 5: him out. And according to your history tours, the mad
Speaker 5: preacher was you know, mad.
Speaker 1: I know I'm a hypocrite. You're just the only person
Speaker 1: I know who's spoken to him. I'm sorry, I'm not
Speaker 1: being rational. I live next door to Tom Stabanaugh lived.
Speaker 1: Oh honey, Heather was home when it all happened.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I had no idea. Sylvia, get Sarabeth
Speaker 5: a drink.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, everything is just happening so fast. I'm just
Speaker 1: looking for any explanation.
Speaker 5: Of course, you are well. I'm sorry to say that
Speaker 5: I haven't really had much in the way of a
Speaker 5: conversation with Jerry Havoc. Of course, I do have some
Speaker 5: things I want to ask him about his family.
Speaker 2: Hey, Corinn, turn around the TV. They're talking about us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, hold on, Sarabath.
Speaker 10: Returned to Havoc tonight, where two separate attacks have been
Speaker 10: reported in the last two weeks, and an outbreak of
Speaker 10: a mysterious illness has been reported. We now go to
Speaker 10: a press conference from Havoc Memorial Hospital already in progress and.
Speaker 11: We have secured the area. Anyone who has any more
Speaker 11: information on the matter, please call our hotline. I'll have
Speaker 11: the number passed on to local news organizations. I'm now
Speaker 11: going to hand it over to the Deputy Director of
Speaker 11: Infectious Diseases at the CDC, doctor Andrew Bradley, who will
Speaker 11: be talking to us about the precautionary measures concerning this.
Speaker 12: Doctor Bradley, yes, hello, as Colonel Harbor said, I'm Andrew Bradley.
Speaker 12: I'm the Deputy Director of Infectious Disease. I report directly
Speaker 12: to the Director. There is a lot of new information
Speaker 12: coming down the pike at US currently, and we spoke
Speaker 12: earlier of the infection of patient zero. I want to
Speaker 12: first announce that we currently are showing no immediate new
Speaker 12: cases of this disease besides those already reported. But if
Speaker 12: you are showing symptoms including but not at all inclusive
Speaker 12: to fever, cough, lightheadedness, mood, instability or traces of blood
Speaker 12: in mucous spits, tears, urine, feces, or sweat, to please
Speaker 12: report to the local medical center here in Havoc immediately
Speaker 12: so as to halt.
Speaker 3: Any further spread.
Speaker 12: We're currently hoping that by self reporting we can keep
Speaker 12: this under control.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 12: As for other mitigation methods, we are asking people to
Speaker 12: social distance, that's keeping ten feet from each other when possible,
Speaker 12: wearing a mask, indoors when you cannot, and staying home
Speaker 12: unless absolutely necessary. We also would ask that you try
Speaker 12: your best to wash hands after contact with other people
Speaker 12: and surfaces. These are precautionary measures that we would recommend
Speaker 12: with any infectious disease, but with so little current information,
Speaker 12: we think that Colonel Harbor, ladies and gentlemen, folks.
Speaker 13: Folks, we're putting this hospital on lockdown for the moment.
Speaker 2: We're going to ask you to please sit tight. Colonel Harbor,
Speaker 2: what's going on?
Speaker 13: I do not have enough information at this moment to
Speaker 13: be able to answer that question fully. At this time,
Speaker 13: there will be no entry or exit into this hospital
Speaker 13: except in the case of medical emergency.
Speaker 8: Apologies.
Speaker 10: There are folks, seems that they have cut the feed
Speaker 10: that was a joint press conference between the New Hampshire
Speaker 10: National Guard and the CDC, which seems to have been
Speaker 10: interrupted by a lockdown of the hospital. More on this
Speaker 10: story as it develops. In related news, CEO of Havoc
Speaker 10: Industries Jury Havoc the fourteenth has recently begun operations in
Speaker 10: the Havoc township, with plans to announce new construction in
Speaker 10: the coming weeks. When reached for common about the plants
Speaker 10: and how they may be impacted by the disease, a
Speaker 10: representative from mister Havoc declined to provide an answer.
Speaker 1: In international news, North Korea has reportedly launched another missile
Speaker 1: over the Sea of Japan.
Speaker 5: Shit, well, all right, folks, on the advice of the CDC,
Speaker 5: we're closing down early. We'll probably stay closed for the
Speaker 5: next few days.
Speaker 2: Ah, come on, Karen.
Speaker 5: Don't give me shit. Phil, I'm trying to keep you alive.
Speaker 5: Dead men, don't drink. You don't know that, all right,
Speaker 5: last call after that, you're on your own.
Speaker 10: All right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, jeb Ronie's line up here for orders.
Speaker 1: He must know something, Sarahbeth.
Speaker 5: Unless he's an epidemiologist, I just doubt that very much. Okay,
Speaker 5: I've got to take orders.
Speaker 8: What could it hurt to ask?
Speaker 1: I know it's a long shot, and I know that
Speaker 1: you have no reason to do me any favors.
Speaker 4: What could it hurt? Please?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'll speak with him about it. Okay, thank you, Krien.
Speaker 1: I promise I'll be a better friend to you.
Speaker 5: Maybe start with being a little lessian enemy and we'll
Speaker 5: go from there.
Speaker 1: Of course, Yes, thank you.
Speaker 5: A brief, blessed break in the chaos around us. My
Speaker 5: grandfather always said that there was nothing quite so sacred
Speaker 5: as a quiet bar at the end of a long
Speaker 5: work day, said that the Holy Ghost was among the spirits.
Speaker 5: Always laughed at his own joke. But there's something there.
Speaker 5: I think. My father was certainly an accolade of this church,
Speaker 5: and raised me up to be one as well. And
Speaker 5: I keep the faith still all these years later, even
Speaker 5: though I may be the only one left at the
Speaker 5: end of the long line of fervent abbots and abbesses. Not,
Speaker 5: of course, thought I worship alone.
Speaker 4: H hell of a day, don't you think?
Speaker 5: Certainly busy? When do you head up to Jerry's straightway? Really? Why?
Speaker 4: I just thought, maybe you dress up?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 4: No, now you look great?
Speaker 14: Just yea a little dishovel.
Speaker 5: Maybe, well, this is how I always look.
Speaker 4: Well, at least he knows what he's gonna get. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're gonna talk to him for Sarah Beth.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I know it's absolutely insane, but something
Speaker 5: is just nagging at me. I mean, the sickness de
Speaker 5: Marius's diary, the timing of him showing up in town.
Speaker 5: Even Sarah Beth, who spent her whole life painting my
Speaker 5: family as a bunch of superstitious weirdos, is shaken by this.
Speaker 5: I mean, for her to ask me for help.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wild, a sign of the end times, the
Speaker 4: Seventh Seal broken.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'd better head over.
Speaker 4: I am so excited and jealous. I mean mostly excited. No, no,
Speaker 4: mostly jealous.
Speaker 5: Okay, he's just dinner, and I'm gonna make it weird,
Speaker 5: I'm sure by pumping him for information.
Speaker 4: Pitchposh.
Speaker 5: I will see you to mo sorrow bullshit.
Speaker 4: You will call me tonight.
Speaker 5: Have a good night, Sylvie, call me evening. Drive through
Speaker 5: a ghost town. Even in small places like this, there
Speaker 5: are the telltale signs of everyday life. Kids playing in
Speaker 5: the yard, people out gardening or walking having a chat.
Speaker 5: The stillness was eerie, and only occasionally broken up as
Speaker 5: I drove to to have a place by emergency workers
Speaker 5: entering a neighbor's house. A National Guard humvy slowly rolling
Speaker 5: up a side street, horribly out of place. This wasn't
Speaker 5: a peaceful quo. The foreboding mood wasn't softened by pulling
Speaker 5: into the Havoc drive. There. It was just up the hill,
Speaker 5: a monolithic sort of thing. Workmen had been here and
Speaker 5: painted it a stark white so that it stood out
Speaker 5: against the brown grass at the hillside. Three floors of
Speaker 5: tall windows framed with black shutters, like empty sockets, staring
Speaker 5: out across all of Havoc, New Hampshire, as if surveying
Speaker 5: its domain. The steep steps leading up from the drive
Speaker 5: to the front door did not soften the place at all. Instead,
Speaker 5: it reminded me how far up I'd already come, and
Speaker 5: how much further I'd have to climb. And then the
Speaker 5: heavy oak door was in front of me, painted black,
Speaker 5: of course, with a massive doorknocker boot in the shape
Speaker 5: of a bear with a large brass ring stuck in
Speaker 5: its mouth. I could imagine it turning into Jacob Marley,
Speaker 5: ready to warn me off my greed. Well, here goes nothing. Hello,
Speaker 5: I'm looking for Jerry Havoc.
Speaker 9: Yes, miss Abbitts, I'm Hobson. I work for mister Havoc.
Speaker 9: Please come.
Speaker 5: Inside. Was a little warmer, dark wooden floors and dim lights,
Speaker 5: and Hobson tall and thin, wispy gray hair oiled to
Speaker 5: his skull. He studied me for a moment from under
Speaker 5: his heavy eyelids.
Speaker 9: Before mister Havoc is on a call. He asked for
Speaker 9: me to sit you in the parlor.
Speaker 5: The parlor this way? Is this a bad time?
Speaker 9: Mister Havoc is on a business call, but it's looking
Speaker 9: forward to your meeting. Would you like refreshments? Coffee, tea?
Speaker 9: We have an excellent wine.
Speaker 5: Sep oh, that's not necessary, as you wish.
Speaker 9: Mister Havoc will be with you shortly. If you happen
Speaker 9: to need anything, I'll be in the study upstairs. Just
Speaker 9: ring the bell here sure, thanks, please sit.
Speaker 5: Not the warmest welcome. The parlor was like walking into
Speaker 5: a museum, the blue gray evening light coming through the
Speaker 5: tall window, little well appointed room, a room that whispered
Speaker 5: of old money. A harpsichord in the corner, ancient but
Speaker 5: dust free paintings on the walls rivers through European cities,
Speaker 5: pastorals of sheep with the backdrop of steep, craggy mountains,
Speaker 5: and there, above a high mantle, a portrait a delicate
Speaker 5: woman with pale blue eyes, white blonde hair piled atop
Speaker 5: her head in great ringlets. She wore a gown of
Speaker 5: crimson against a dark backdrop. The light in the painting
Speaker 5: fell across her face in such a way that it
Speaker 5: cast shadows about her, but it caught her eyes just so.
Speaker 5: They burned brightly, like winter sun hitting the surface of
Speaker 5: an icy pond and reflecting back too brightly. The effect
Speaker 5: was hypnotizing. She was magnificent, soft and still, but with
Speaker 5: a terrible sort of vibrance, like she could reach out
Speaker 5: through the painting and touch you with her white fingers.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, isn't it?
Speaker 5: Jesus?
Speaker 2: Oh God, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 5: Uh, you scared the shit out of me.
Speaker 2: Occupational hazard. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I didn't I didn't hear you come in. I was well,
Speaker 5: I was transfixed. This painting is gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Oh yes. Jacques Louis David eighteen fourteen, he painted the
Speaker 2: Coronation of Napoleon. Oh, and the death of Socrates. Wow,
Speaker 2: don't worry, you know, because I looked him up.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you. I've never heard of him.
Speaker 2: He was apparently a big deal.
Speaker 5: So who's this.
Speaker 2: This would be my great great great et cetera, grandfather's first.
Speaker 5: Wife, Sophia. Yes, who my great et cetera grandfather murdered. Yes,
Speaker 5: sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't have to rehash the past, do we.
Speaker 2: Let's go and sit in my office, Shally, this room
Speaker 2: belongs to a dead woman.
Speaker 5: Sounds good. I hope everything's okay, or that this isn't
Speaker 5: interrupting important business. I mean, we could have pushed this
Speaker 5: to another day.
Speaker 2: No, not at all. No, like I really wanted to
Speaker 2: get to know you better.
Speaker 5: Oh, you just seem pretty heated on the phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the governor's an idiot.
Speaker 5: That's why you were arguing about the governor.
Speaker 2: I was arguing with the governor.
Speaker 5: Oh uh huh.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. He's proposing a lockdown in the
Speaker 2: county just as we're getting started with the new project
Speaker 2: at Avoc Mills. We've already had a shit couple of
Speaker 2: years business wise, and.
Speaker 5: I've heard about the congressional testimony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, as soon as we make aware
Speaker 2: of labor violations, well things changed.
Speaker 5: I believe you.
Speaker 2: This lockdown could cost me a lot of money, depending,
Speaker 2: of course, on how long it lasts. Please right in here.
Speaker 5: Holy shit, this is this is more a library than
Speaker 5: an office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it is.
Speaker 5: Is this giant desk where you do your business?
Speaker 2: Where I attended? At least?
Speaker 5: Where do you find a space? It's chaos? What are
Speaker 5: these ledgers?
Speaker 2: They are?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 5: They're like computer programs that do the same thing and
Speaker 5: save the clutter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we use them, We use them. It's just a
Speaker 2: more old school tactile. I like to see it all
Speaker 2: in front of me.
Speaker 5: Some of these look like they go way back. I mean,
Speaker 5: this one looks older than the Bible.
Speaker 2: The hell man, Sorry, I'm so sorry that it's just
Speaker 2: that one's really fragile. It shouldn't really be back there
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 5: Well, there's no need to scold.
Speaker 2: I'm an adult, I said, I'm sorry. I'm under an
Speaker 2: awful lot of stress right now.
Speaker 5: That's fine, that's fine. I don't let the drunks of
Speaker 5: the bar talk to me that way. And I know
Speaker 5: them a hell of a lot better than I know you.
Speaker 2: We don't seem to be able to get on the
Speaker 2: right footeing dew We.
Speaker 5: No, we can't. And you know what, I get it.
Speaker 5: The stress lockdown would screw my place up pretty badly too.
Speaker 5: I'm sure with the CDC involved, things will return the
Speaker 5: nomal pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Right, I honestly don't know. I'm pretty livid. I thought
Speaker 2: he was pro business.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm no fan of SNUNA, but I'm sure
Speaker 5: he's also pro keeping his constituents alive.
Speaker 2: Who knows? So let's not talk about business. What should
Speaker 2: we talk about?
Speaker 5: Well, I'd like to rehash the past? Neat Well, it's
Speaker 5: just that I recently discovered the diary of Tameris Abbas.
Speaker 2: I'm familiar with it. Oh well, yes, my great great etcetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera grandfather was the one who found it.
Speaker 5: Actually I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not common knowledge. He made sure that it
Speaker 2: wasn't entered into the record of events.
Speaker 5: Hmm. That's sort of what I'm here to ask about.
Speaker 5: Not vamporism, No, I mean, what happened with your family
Speaker 5: after everything?
Speaker 2: After the good Reverend Abbis murdered his son, he marched
Speaker 2: up the hill to this very house and banged on
Speaker 2: the door in the middle of the night. Then he
Speaker 2: murdered Jury Havoc, the Eighth's wife, Sophia, whose portrait you
Speaker 2: were so taken with. And after that he went and
Speaker 2: hung himself in the church, leaving no note.
Speaker 5: Well that's not entirely true. What we did a letter
Speaker 5: to his grandson.
Speaker 2: Did it explain what happened?
Speaker 5: Uh? No, No, just told them that the vampires were
Speaker 5: going to be their responsibility in the future and apologizing
Speaker 5: for their mother's death.
Speaker 2: Hmm, Shane bat to Mars, another innocent Yeah, well, let
Speaker 2: me tell you something. Even in his grief and Sophia's loss,
Speaker 2: my ancestor felt an obligation to heal the wounds habits left.
Speaker 2: The current town hall was funded by him. He gave
Speaker 2: generously to the church and found someone new to lead
Speaker 2: the congregation, all of which led to the population renaming
Speaker 2: the town after him. But apparently the the sorrow was
Speaker 2: too much, and so he returned to London, where he
Speaker 2: met his second wife.
Speaker 5: Martha, which I suppose was lucky for you. How so,
Speaker 5: otherwise you wouldn't have been born.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I guess you got a point there. Well,
Speaker 2: the two of them begat and so did that child
Speaker 2: on down the line. And here I am, and here
Speaker 2: you are too. So I guess all wounds do heal.
Speaker 5: For the most part, the uh ABBA's name is still
Speaker 5: synonymous with murder and madness, though none of us has
Speaker 5: harmed a fly since that plague of eighteen seventeen.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a shame, honestly, It's funny, isn't it that
Speaker 2: the disease which abliged the town dissipated into the ether
Speaker 2: when the man hung himself.
Speaker 5: Are you suggesting that he was responsible?
Speaker 2: Of course not. No, I'm just I'm just saying it's
Speaker 2: a it's funny in a in a nasty kind of way.
Speaker 5: Hmmm. I mean you could also say that it ended
Speaker 5: when your grandfather laughed and started right back up the
Speaker 5: week I Havoc.
Speaker 2: Returned, Miss Ames, Are you accusing me of vamporism?
Speaker 5: I no, of course not. I'm you're fucking with me.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was just too perfect. But yes,
Speaker 2: I'm more than aware of the bad timing. It's coming
Speaker 2: out of the work. It's almost too perfect, isn't it.
Speaker 5: I mean, perspective people have died.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, yes, I'm sorry, and you know one
Speaker 2: of them two right again? I'm sorry, yes, Hobson.
Speaker 9: I apologize for the interruption. Glenn Morrison is on the line.
Speaker 2: Tell him I'll call him back.
Speaker 9: It's urgent, he says.
Speaker 2: I apologize. I've really got to take this call. I
Speaker 2: shouldn't be long, but it may be a bit. I
Speaker 2: do have someone preparing a meal. It'd be a shame
Speaker 2: to waste it.
Speaker 5: You know, we really can rain check it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I feel bad.
Speaker 5: It's absolutely all right. Everything has been chaos, and you
Speaker 5: know I really could use some quiet time anyway.
Speaker 2: Well, can we please meet up again soon?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 2: When's good.
Speaker 5: I'm at the bar most evenings, so whenever.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see that letter from Jasara Abbess really
Speaker 2: really bury the hatchet.
Speaker 5: Sure, i'll call you.
Speaker 2: I'll be waiting, hey, and be careful out there. Shit
Speaker 2: is crazy.
Speaker 5: It was already dark when I got back in the
Speaker 5: car and made my way down the hill. Havoc, the
Speaker 5: man shouting into the phone behind me.
Speaker 2: Havoc.
Speaker 5: The town turning on their porch lights below me, huddling
Speaker 5: safely inside their homes, a ghost town now, the only
Speaker 5: sign of life. The blue light of the TV, flickering
Speaker 5: in windows, watching the news for signs of the end,
Speaker 5: my own house shrouded in darkness. As I pulled up
Speaker 5: and got out, I was turning the conversation with a
Speaker 5: jury over in my head, the weird defensiveness, though I imagine
Speaker 5: I exude the same when people ask about my family,
Speaker 5: and I said, from his end, the whispers of vampirism
Speaker 5: that haunt this town or a little grating. I was
Speaker 5: so busy thinking about these things that I didn't notice
Speaker 5: the figure on the front porch until it spoken, who's there? Hello?
Speaker 14: No, no, Hello, it's You're You're dead. They they, they
Speaker 14: said you were dead.
Speaker 5: I was, I'm not now, Jesus, Jimbo, Can I come in?
