The Private Collection - LOT A (Cathy, Kristy and The Third Child)

Today's episode is sponsored by I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Get it now on digital.

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences.

A year later, their past comes back to haunt them, and they're forced to confront a horrifying truth.

Someone knows what they did last summer and is hell-bent on revenge.

As one by one, the friends are stalked by a killer.

They discover this happened before, so they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport massacre of 1997 for help.

Starring Madeline Klein, Chase Sue Wonders, Jonah Hauer King with Freddie Prince Jr., and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I know what you did last summer is a perfect summer slasher, says Jordan Cruciolo of NPR.

Toodaloo

welcome Obsidian Covenant member.

I appreciate you joining me here after hours to take home some items from my private collection.

You wouldn't happen to have any pets at home, would you?

Whether or not you are an animal person is besides the point.

It's what they think of you that is really something.

With the help of MRIs, we know it's a scientific fact that the canine brain is wired in a way that their affection for humans goes beyond basic instincts.

This name tag and collar once belonged to my longtime companion.

And now I am passing it along to you as a gentle reminder to always treat our four-legged friends with reverence and compassion.

For you are their entire world.

This

is Kathy,

Christie,

and the third child.

Jimmy idly listened to the happy sounds of splashing water and the two children playing in the sunny backyard.

One eye occasionally opening and closing.

He could hear mom banging about in the kitchen.

And if he bothered to lift his neck, he could see her at the kitchen sink, which faced the yard.

An arc of glittering water caught his attention and he blinked.

Kathy was floating quietly on her back in the inflatable pool, and Christy was busy shoveling soil.

Where did the arc of water come from?

He got up from his comfortable spot on the terrace and began prowling over to the children.

He didn't like water on his fur, but he wanted to know what was happening in the pool.

There was a third child in the pool.

Jimmy had seen it before.

It always floated in the pool on its back like Kaffy,

but below the surface, its eyes wide open, always staring up at the sky.

The third child had always been floating there in the pool, ever since mom and dad set up the inflatable pool in their yard after buying it from a garage sale down the street.

Well, my darling, that's all for now.
