Gossip — Wendy Corsi Staub

It seemed like a fun thing for Cathy, Derrick, and Travis to do: Start a rumor and follow it. Like that grade-school game "telephone." Maybe someone's feelings would get hurt.

No big deal.

No one was supposed to end up in jail. No one was supposed to die.

But in the real world, sometimes there's a fine line between the sting of truth and the damage of...gossip.
