Confession 3

A fog of silence descended in the room over the next few seconds as Jerry's video-taped confession came to an end. Nobody looked at anybody else. Nobody said a word.

"This is the height of wickedness." The mature man, who happened to be a distant cousin to Nana, said staring in Gwen's direction. "How can anyone be so cruel to their own family member."

"It beats my imagination." Judith hissed out loud, prompting murmuring amongst other members of the family.
