Summoning 3

Casey gave her a wan smile and nodded. She got up, and waving their objections away, she went and got another bottle of beer. She sat back down, popped it open, sipped it, and looked at them. She contemplated what lies to tell them but nothing would make sense or even begin to explain everything that happened. So she decided to come at it from a different direction.

"Let me ask you a few questions, before I try to explain everything, would that be okay?"

They both nodded and sat waiting patiently for her. "Do you remember when you were a kid and your dad or mom would tell you ghost stories and about the monsters that lived out in the wild?"

They nodded and frowned. They weren't sure what she was getting at but were willing to give her some time.

"Okay, then when you got older you learned it was all make believe and something that was just a myth, right?"

Again they frowned but nodded their understanding. She took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
