[The evening of the 26th, a platter of cupcakes is delivered to Josephine's room. It is left with a knock, and when she opens the door, no one will be there.
The cupcakes are beautiful confections, easily as big as her fist, and piled high with buttercream frosting. But they're filled with nothing good. One is most certainly filled with blood. Another with maggots, a third with worms, and a fourth with beetles. Best not look in the fifth, that has teeth in it.
There is a note attached, too, because our sender is kind.]
