Lullaby: Outside Reading Quarter 2 #9

Helen Hoover Boyle's assitant is named Mona Sabbat. She told Helen that she heard about culling tales before, and that they're meant to be read to old people who want to be taken out of their misery peacefully. Interested, Helen is more friendly to Mona so she can find out more of what she knows. Mona invites Helen to a get together she has at her house. Not wanting to go alone, Helen brings Carl Streater to the party. All of the people there are Wiccan and they are very strict vegans. Everyone calls themselves by an animal name instead of their normal names so Carl and Helen feel very uncomfortable there. They also meet Mona's boyfriend, Oyster. He has really long blonde hair and is a Wiccan like Mona and all their friends. After a while at the party, everyone gets naked and start saying prayers. Helen and Carl feel even more uncomfortable, and keep their clothing on and start drinking.
