Beryl examined her toast carefully and carefully

  • Beryl examined her toast carefully and carefully nibbled around the image of Princess Diana burnt into its crisp surface.

  • bled outta there before all hell broke loose. I felt a tug on my shirttail. "Going somewhere?" a gravelly voice spoke. It was too late. I'd never see her again.
