The Lab

​

David and Paula were upstairs readying themselves for a night out. Their daughter, Gemma, was downstairs sitting on the end of the sofa, not saying a word. Gemma’s adoptive parents had always been overprotective and overbearing. Most TV programmes were a no-no.

 

Paula swallowed and tried to begin an explanation. ‘Have you heard of something called the Heart of Myrth?’
