Author's Foreword The following story is a chronicling of the events which happened to Mr.Author's Foreword The following story is a chronicling of the events which happened to Mr. Thomas Hyde approximately one year ago, during the summer of 1991. My name is Dr. Phyllis Hyde-Benson and I am the sister of Tom Hyde. I am 37 years old, married with two children, and a Psychologist. In all fairness, both my name and my brother's have been altered for obvious reasons, but the events depicted in the following have been transcribed as accurately as possible. About six months ago I was persuaded by my cousin Kathy to accompany her to Tom's house on a Saturday afternoon. I was concerned that Tom had been acting strangely the past few months and Kathy hinted that I might find out part of the reason if I were to accompany her. My curiosity was piqued, along with a bit of jealousy. After all, I was Tom's older sister and had practically helped raise him. Not only that, but I was also a practicing psychologist and I was a bit peeved to think that Tom would confide in his cousin Kathy, whom he was never really close to, and not come to me for help. |
