Manna Francis got under my skin again. This story reveals a disturbing and sad piece of Toreth’s childhood. A piece of the puzzle that might help readers understand the man Toreth has become.

Out to lunch with Sara, Toreth comes face to face with a man from his past—Gee Evans.

So this pretty well defines who Toreth was as a youth--Sara was totally creeped out by Gee--and Toreth has fond memories of Psyco Class 101
