“By the Stonemason’s Playground?” Tommy asked.
“What’s that?” I said, trying to sound dumb.

“The kids who sneak into the playground to play are turned to stone. They never come back?” Tommy added.
Haunted or not, this was the one place I could go to be myself. I decided that no story was going to stop me from visiting the Stonemason’s Playground.
