Dear P.
Here is a link to the challenge: And please, forgive me... * Dear P., Perhaps this is a little confusing. Your real name is Alison (or is that Alyson...or Alys? It is never clear in the text), but most of the world knows you as the wife. Or the Wife. The woman who travelled with all of those other pilgrims to that famous cathedral in England, and was given the longest of the prologues in Geoffrey's most famous long poem. You boasted of your five husbands, telling us of the three who were good - old, rich and submissive - and the two who were bad (not much detail there). You were also 'gat-toothed' (ah, that gap in the teeth was a symbol of its time that we may want to give back - so much sensuality in it). This was to symbolize your liberated sexuality...as if this was not already clear from the tale spilled out from your lips...

Just for Fun! 4
The man was dead. The inspector walked into the room and studied the confines of the room looking for any clues. He spied on the desk something that looked suspicious. He went to the desk and saw the bloodied letter opener. He suspected that this was the weapon that killed the man. He heard some whimpering coming from somewhere. He looked around the room and saw that there was a thin door that looked like the wall, and it opened out. He looked in there was a little girl tears running down her face. She said, "Killed. He hurt me."

Evil Lives Here
There was only one rule at the convent: don’t open the door. There were a lot of looked doors at the old decaying building, but this old bolted door with ivy’s growing on top of it made it even more alluring for the sisters wanting something more.
