“Have you talked to James lately?” Aaron asked. “I hadn’t heard from him, so I called him at home. He sounded very strange. I’m worried.”
Beth gave Aaron a puzzled look. “That doesn’t sound like James. But he’s struggled with his health since he returned from the dig. He must be very tired.”
“It’s worse than that! He started shouting some gibberish, and muttering about ‘Great Old Ones, soon to rise.’”
Beth’s eyes began to glow. “I’m sorry, Aaron. You’ve heard too much. You should’ve left him alone.”
