Two rather bedraggled spirits float in through one of the cracks in the door. One resembles a haggered, middle-aged single mother of eight and the other lookes as if she lived a long, cruel life and been buried for a week.

"What the heck time is it, anyway?" the apparently older of the two asks. "Mandylou had an appointment with some old fart called Ebenezer Leej at one AM, and I was supposed to haunt the bugger at two. We was down by the oak grove waiting our turn when Bronnie...that's Brunhilde to you...showed up with almost an entire Morris side. Boy! Ya shoulda seen what one of those old boys did with his damn bells! Anyway, we got distracted, and one of them borrowed my watch so the other ones wouldn't cheat, and we lost track of the time, and anyway, here we both are, so where's old Ebenezer?
