- Theodore Jennings: It appears there are some things we must speak about.
As-of-yet-unreleased series by Cashala Lafrance.
Benjamin Anderson's world view falls to pieces late one fall night when his trip back from the school's basketball court coincides with witnessing Theodore Jennings execute one of his teachers. Theodore, covering up his shock at discovering this unexpected onlooker, quickly disappears from sight. But the next day, no one remembers the teacher that Ben saw die - and Theodore, along with his sister, Lorraine, tell Ben about the carefully constructed facade which has been upheld for so many centuries.
