The Secret Starts To Come Out

Evelyn Wallace, one of their close family friends, just happened to see Karen out in the garden tanning. Something caught Evelyn’s eye, and she moved closer to take a better look at the disintegrating body Karen had. She recalls, “She loved to go lay out in the sunshine. I don’t know whether it was to get a tan or get away from her mother. Anyhow, I happened to go out to the kitchen for something and I saw her out there. She just had on her little bathing suit shorts. You couldn’t tell whether it was a girl or a boy. She had absolutely no breasts.”
