What a pleasure it can be, how delicious the pretend terror to sink into a dark, safe

place and listen to a scary story, to revel in the shivers.

But to live at the center of such a story, the real thing, how different that is, and

that difference, is fear.

You know, it's funny how emotionally you kind of vacillate in and out of, oh my god,

this is real.

And then there are moments where you just kind of compartmentalize it and feel like, what's

happening to somebody else?

Nassie Latham cycled through all those emotions in the hours after learning someone that

paid to have her killed.

And you can almost turn it into something you're looking at like a third party.

It's like, it's a great story.

And as long as I look at it like that, I don't have to deal with the hurt of it.

Yeah, because there's a lot of hurt.

A little bit.

The questions densed around in her brain like so many lottery balls, who, how, when, but

mostly, why, she'd never dreamed she'd be the target of a murder plot.

And that idea of wanting me to completely be obliterated off the face of the earth.

What did I do?

What, what did I do to deserve it?

In this episode, you'll hear more about the people believed to be behind the plot to kill

Nassie.
