“So I shoot a dozen pictures from different angles, slidin’ around some on the slick clay mud, then Pee-Wee puts on a glove and starts to brush away the dirt.

The professor — Morgana — screams like crazy. You never seen nothin’ like it. Dead white man, one long wooden stake through each eye, one through his mouth, pounded down into the skull. Don’t know whether they go all the way through into the dirt or not. Professor Morgana runs off, I guess to throw up in the bushes. Can’t say I blame her.

Feel a little the same way myself. This is murder, and really bad stuff.”
