Illustration for the riddle “The Quiet One”

Halloween Night · ★★☆

The Quiet One

The 31st, in a hospital A&E waiting room: costumes everywhere and fake blood on half the people. A triage nurse walks past a man drenched in red who is howling, and takes a silent young man straight through whose costume carries one stain the size of a coin. The first man will put in a complaint. She was right. Why?
