Professor Card

A man steps from the shadows. He is tall, erudite, and well dressed.

The only thing going through Barbs mind is ‘yummy’.

With a deep sexy voice he whispers. “Hello Barb. I’m Professor Card. I would like you to join my class.”

With a jittery voice Barb replies. “Why? Why should I want to learn anything? I dropped out of school to get away from that shit.”

“Simple, my dear, I will show you how to become a necromancer. You will have the power to raise the dead. You could bring your sister back.”

Barbs jaw drops. She is in disbelief.

Professor Card steps toward her. He is lean, yet muscular, with a chiseled face.

He extends his hand. “I promise to show you the secrets of life and ****.”

Barb reaches her hand out. He gently grabs it. His long sharp fingernails lightly pressing against her palm. He pulls her hand and places a kiss upon it.

“I...I...agree to join your class.”

“As you should. You shall hear from me.”

He steps back into the shadows and seems to disappear. Barb’s heart pounds as she wonders if she really could bring her sister back. She peers down the corridor, wondering what to do next.
