At Midnight
Some adult themes
A hand shook her arm, and she woke with a start, groping for the lamp.
"Oh, Flora," Melissa said. "Why are you here?"
"Had a nightmare."
"Why didn't you visit Mummy and Daddy?"
"I did. They ... Mummy had Daddy tied up!"
Melissa blinked sleepily. "They're playing a game. She wouldn't hurt him."
"Like cops and robbers?"
Melissa worked hard not to laugh. "Something like that. Did you want to sleep here?"
Flora nodded, and climbed in.
Artemis found a terse note on his desk the next day. "Please lock your door when engaging in activities aunts may have difficulty explaining."
