The Secret
Bliss of Calliope Ipswich
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Synopsis
“Oh! Do link arms with me, Calliope,” Blanche
whispered, her brown eyes widening with apprehension. She took Calliope’s arm,
tightly linking it with her own. “The old Mulholland house still gives me the
willies every time I walk past it. I hate to think on what might have gone on
inside. It’s truly terrifyin’!”
“Oh, don’t be silly, Blanche,” Calliope said,
feigning calm. “Poor Prudence’s lunacy…it’s sad. And besides, her fiendish acts
were not committed inside the house. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just…it’s
just a sad, empty building.” Calliope Ipswich felt the hypocrite, however, as
an uncomfortable shiver of residual dread and unease shuttered down her spine.
More than six months had passed since the All
Hollow’s Eve when the dangerous state of Prudence Mulholland’s fracturing mind
had been revealed to the townsfolk of Meadowlark Lake. And now, each time
Calliope thought of poor Prudence and her family, not only did her heart ache
for their family’s unhappy lot but a chill of lingering horror rippled through
her being.
In truth, at times Calliope wondered if it had
all been simply a bad dream—a nightmare. But it hadn’t. It really had
happened—all of it.
