Part 2: The Dinner Party
Chapter 6: Guests and Tales
Seven in the evening. Gillian’s flat. 738 Marsh Road. Flat 8D. Jason goes solo to the dinner party, just as he has planned all day. The last text from Dillon reads: Have a great dinner. Let me wrap up my meeting and I’ll shoot over to party as soon as I can. Dillon’s a man of his word. If he says he’ll try to show up, he will. Case closed.
Gillian’s flat looks like a famous artist’s abode. She’s not an artist, though. She doesn’t know the difference between an easel and a paintbrush. Poor thing. Bronze and human-shaped figurines by Daniel Lucy, a local sculptor, decorate the steel-colored walls and cement floor. Jason counts more than fifteen, haunted by the creatures because they resemble ghouls from hell opposed to angels in heaven.
