MYSTERY THAT LEAVES YOU LAUGHING

A peek into the front entry revealed an inviting atmosphere calling to me: “Come on in, be seated, and read of magic wonderlands.”

I entered, chose a book, sat in a recliner, leaned back….felt the hood go over my face and my purse taken out of my hand before the laughing gas got to my brain.
