Reverend Parris

       Last night, I walked upon a shocking and frightening scene in the forest. I found my daughter, Betty, my niece, Abigail, and my slave, Tituba, dancing there in the middle of the night. Ever since then, Betty has been in a coma and I'm extremely worried about her. I fear that the girls were taking part in some kind of witchcraft. Abigail denies that it was witchcraft, but she is known to lie a alot.
       Awhile later, Mr. and Mrs. Putnam arrived. They told me that their daughter, who was also in the forest that night, was sick as well. They informed me that someone saw Betty flying! Of course, I don't believe such a thing. However, I am calling up Reverend Hale of Beverly as a precaution.
       Now, I need to make an important decision. Should I tell the town what has happened and risk my reputation and so much more? I don't think that's the correct choice. I will try to keep the situation as quiet as possible and keep denying that it's witchcraft, even if I think it is.
