The Poison Church
“Mommy, why are there spider webs up in the corners?”
“This church has been closed for years. People said it was poisoned because of all the lead in the roof and windows.”
“Is it dangerous?”
“No, it was just a scare. People overreacted. Don’t eat the shingles and you’ll be fine.”
“I see.” The little girl paused and looked around. “Then why are we all crowded in here now?”
“Remember all the stuff in the news today, all the flashing bulletins?”
“Breaking news,” the girl recited.
“And remember our other new word?”
“Melt…down.”
“Right. This place will keep us safe.”
