“Food is ready, ladies!” Annie exclaimed from the tea room.

Clarissa and Maurice walked into the room and took a glance across the table at all the foods and drinks Annie had prepared.

Herbal teas, biscuits, scones, and a bowl of mushroom stew… suspiciously smelling mushroom stew. Clarissa took a closer look at the stew, inspecting it closely.

That’s when she noticed it.

The mushrooms in the stew were no ordinary mushrooms… they were hallucinogenic mushrooms.

“Annie,” Clarissa spoke nervously. “Where did you get these mushrooms?”

“I got them in the forest! There were a ton of them, so I thought I could put them to good use! Why do you ask?” Annie replied, blissfully unaware.

“Well,” Clarissa sighed. “This particular type of mushrooms is known to cause extreme hallucinations… and in some cases… death.”

Annie’s eyes widened. “I didn’t know-“

Maurice cut her off. “You were trying to kill us?! You psycho!”

“Maurice! Annie had no idea what the true nature of these mushrooms was! Calm down!” Clarissa exclaimed, panicked.

“I won’t calm down until I either know those mushrooms are safe, or they’re removed right now.”

The other two girls could practically feel the rage and fear radiating off of Maurice… mostly fear.

“Look,” Annie said. “I bet these mushrooms are completely harmless! I’ll prove it!”

Before Clarissa or Maurice had a chance to say something, Annie took one of the mushrooms from a bowl of stew… and ate it. For a moment, nothing weird happened.

“See? The mushrooms are completely sa-“

Then Annie just dropped dead.
