"Oh, Neil......wooooooo"

wind whistling through a shutter is heard)

"Neeeeiiillll.....come away with me."

a slight movement, out of the corner of his eye, catches Neil off guard, he gives a start and gasp

Neil: "Why who could that be? ....Why, I think it's Little Red Riding Hood! Hey there Little Red Hood, I don't think little big girls should, go walking in the spooky, uh...spooky, oh yea, spooky old woods alone! Hey, guys, didja see that? No, really I think it was a ghost, didn't you hear her call my name? Uh, I've only had one, today! Naw...just give ma another pint! I gotta go to the eye doctor and get my eharing checked!"

He turns back to the table, bends an elbow, throught the glass bottom of his drinking mug, he sees the face of a young girl in a red hooded cape smiling at him from around the corner of the bar.

Neil's mates: "Hey, chum, wake up! Are ya alright? That was a fast tumble from a low chair. What in the world's up with you? Here, take a swig; it'll put hair on yer chest! Now, what was that you were saying about some more old ghosts wandering in....?
