Summary

Let us ask you a question, Dear Guest-- Have you ever discovered that a friend has had a secret prosthetic body part? (not like that) An artificial arm, leg, or maybe teeth that were so cleverly made that you never even noticed it? Well, there's no chance of that with the ancient prosthetics Ms. Merrick is going to tell you about tonight! These past times orthopedics would have stuck out like a peg leg! Find out about our ancestor's creative replacement body parts in tonight's darkly entertaining reading. Please take your seats!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
