While attending Rutgers I worked in the library. I worked the front desk and cancellation room where books were returned. I was working the close on a Friday evening and when all patrons had left I took the final cart of books up to the stacks before locking up.

I dropped of the books at the various points for restacking. One book remained on the cart and I was surprised at the age of the book cover. I opened it and saw that it was a part of our Rare Books collection. Only certain librarians could enter those hallowed grounds. I didn't want to leave it unattended so I took it home.

The book as dated 1685 and the author was Martha Corey. It was written in Latin and my high school Latin allowed me to translate the title, "The All Seeing Eye". Under the title on the title page was an illustration of a pyramid topped by an eye, which seemed to penetrate my very soul.

I was a history major and recognized the grad student who had checked the book out. She was very beautiful Douglass student and I had said hello to her on occasions at the History Department.

Saturday morning I went to the Library and checked out a Latin to English dictionary. I looked up the personal information on the grad student since she had special access to the Rare Books Collection the additional personal material was needed. Her home was listed as Salem Massachusetts, which rang a bell! Her name was Martha Corey and the coincidence shouted at me. A quick search revealed the fact that Martha Corey had been tried at the Salem Witch Trial of 1692 and hung!

I hid the book return transaction and went back to my room to read more. The book contained a series of spells which prepared one for exercising and invoking “The All Seeing Eye”. I worked day and night for five days. I knew that Corey was always in the History Department on Thursday so I camped out near her professor’s door so that I could run into her. We met and said our hellos. I asked her if I could talk to her about “the eye”! She was startled for a moment and then led me into an empty classroom. It was there, in hushed tones, that she spoke of her ancestor. After these furtive admissions she asked me if I would like to attend her coven! I said yes and she said that she would pick me up when I closed on Friday night.

She picked me up and we drove out to the forest which lay to the west of Rutgers. We walked into the forest and came upon her coven standing in a forest clearing. There was a large fire in the center of the group and several smaller fires where cauldrons were emitting green smoke. Our arrival was noted and the coven grew quiet. Martha stood on a tree stump and began to speak. I was introduced and a short speech in Latin was delivered. I was to be joined to the coven and the search for my third eye was to begin. I was drawn to the center of the glen and given a goblet of green liquid. I drank it while Martha sang a lovely song. The coven then came to me and welcomed me to the group. I was startled to meet the Rutgers Dean of Men, the Mayor of New Brunswick, The Chancellor of Douglass College and many teachers and dignitaries from the local communities.

Martha handed me another goblets and we began to drink and sing as we danced around the central fire. My forehead began to itch and I imbibed more of the fire water. Martha kissed me and my hands began to explore her lovely form. Soon we were rolling on the forest floor and we ripped at each others clothes. The debauch began and the howls that filled the night air were those of lust unleashed! Afterwards I looked across the glen and thought that I saw a horse headed creature with horns, a forked tale and a fiery breath......

"I was to be joined to the coven and the search for my third eye was to begin."

Heh, heh, heh...

Hey Beavis, do you believe he fell for THAT?!

If I had a bodice, it would surely be ripped!

And I was just about to say it was all BS.
