Karyn Pig: The Horrible Solution

He leapt to his feet and tried grabbing for the stone, but his hand jerked back of its own volition as it was once again scalded. The flash went off. When Jon could see again. Karyn had plopped down on the ground. Slowly, she lifted a hand to the collar that now encircled her throat, lifting a small dog tag with the name "Karyn" engraved on it, she did the last thing Jon expected. She began to laugh.
