Devil's Plaything

Chapter 64

“I always knew, Grandma.”

“Of course you did.”

“I did?”

“Of course. That’s why you threw up on the snake. You knew that Harry was watching us. You knew that you had a secret inside of you and you wanted to get rid of it.”

“By throwing up?”

Grandma laughs. “You know the truth now. You can die in peace.”

“I don’t want to die. Polly needs a maple donut.”

“Dying is part of life. Vince is right. Aging is a beautiful thing if you can see it in the right light.”

“I’m not aging. I’m dying!”

“Oh, good point,” she laughs. “Then you’d better swim.”

“What?”

“Up. Toward the oxygen.”
