There are some games you just shouldn’t play and adultery is one of them. Lust and greed make for volatile bedfellows and things can easily get out of hand . . .

Story 2: Emily on the Edge
A psychiatrist puts his own sanity on the line when he resorts to role-playing, in a desperate attempt to uncover the mysterious forces that lie behind a patient’s multiple personalities.
