Bathroom Monologue: "John, what would your children's book be about?" -Jennifer Hyatt

Rumors that the governor's wife had a troubled labor and lost the child bring people from all over the county to the mansion the next morning. Startlingly, the child is alive and resting peacefully, but every doctor, nurse and maid in the estate is dead, torn limb from limb and strewn about the birthing chamber. The mother must have had a troubled birth, for she hasn't woken up since. The governor will have a lot of questions when he gets home, especially when he sees what is growing in the basement.

What? It's about a child.
