“What if she is somebody’s mother?”
“That’s a scary thought.”
The woman approached the register.
“May I help you find something?” Abby asked.
“Umm, where’s your section on monsters?”
“Have you a particular monster in mind?”
“Werewolves.”
Two in one day. Something had to be going on. “Follow me and I’ll show you where the werewolf section is.”
When Abby returned to the register, Francie began to hum the theme from the old TV program Twilight Zone. “All these weirdoes are beginning to creep me out.”
“I don’t know what to think, Francie.”
“We ought to call and see if any spring cleaning is going on at the mental hospital.”
The strange young woman approached the register with a large book. There was a color picture of Lon Chaney as the Wolf Man on the cover. She handed Francie the book and opened her purse.
“You’re going to love this book,” Francie told her.
“Oh, it’s not for me, but it sure does look great.” Turning toward Abby, she said, “Thank you, for your help.”
“That’s what we here for. I’m glad you found what you wanted.”
Suddenly, the pocket of the young woman’s trench coat began to wiggle and squirm.
“Did her pocket just move?” Francie whispered to Abby.
Abby was about to reply when a furry head popped out, opened its little mouth and squeaked. Both women nearly jumped out of their shoes.
The young woman giggled. “Sorry. This is Glom, my pet ferret. Say hello, Glom,” she said pulling the animal from her pocket and holding it up.
Francie jumped back, causing the girl to laugh. “He won’t hurt you. Do you want to pet him?”
“No, thanks, I’ll pass.” Francie said.
The girl put the ferret back into her pocket. Then she paid and left the bookstore. When she’d gone, Abby said, “There must be a pack of werewolves running around town.”
“I guess it’s time to purchase some silver bullets,” replied Francie.
