Blood Oath
[inspired by a bit in the Saga of Tuck.]
Yeah, OK, I freaked out back when it started. But it's actually surprising that that was all I did.
Except, of course, I couldn't tell anybody why I'd freaked out. Which is why I've been seeing a therapist.
She's not too bad, and it's not like I didn't have problems before. She could help with those.
Alas, that still didn't explain my freak-out. And her guesses were getting a bit too close to stuff that could either get her in trouble or be really bad for me. Getting tossed in a nuthouse would be bad. Being effectively defenseless there could be fatal or worse.
But today I accidentally said something under my breath. Well, I thought that's what I'd done. Apparently I said it a bit louder than I intended and Sheila caught it.
