"It's this ring." said Christine, holding out her left hand, the fourth finger of which had a moonstone ring with a black gem inlaid in it. "I bought it at a bazaar about a week ago. It's stuck and won't come off. I tried soap, grease, everything."
"So why did you come here?" asked Marcia "Wouldn't you have better luck with a jewellers?"
"I tried that, but they couldn't cut through it. I came to you because ever since I put it on I keep having strange nightmares"
Marcia was intrested now. "What sort of nightmares?"
"It's the same every night. It's the full moon and I'm turning into a huge monster in the street while people are panicking and running away."
"When you say monster, what kind exactly? How big?"
"I never have a good look at myself, and the size changes." answered Christine, tugging on the ring "What if it comes true? What if the ring turns me into a monster? Please Marcia, you've got to help me!"
Marcia knew of Christine's desperation. The next full moon was 4 days away. They had to get Christine's ring off before then or she'd turn into a monster!
