I'll Haunt You When I'm Dead Page #4

---

I'm being serious.

Hey, what happened?

It worked.

Well, yeah, it worked.

That's kind of the whole point.

No, the point is to want it to work and...

then go, "Oh, shucks," when it doesn't.

Well, that seems kind of pointless.

Hey, are you okay?

Okay.

What just happened in there

could mean one of two things.

One:
...

A ghost, a literal ghost,

just talked with us.

Or two:
...

Our subconscious

wanted it to happen so badly that...

we manifested it with some...

hidden, messed-up part of ourselves.

What?

I think you need to see something.

Get your coat.

I think there's a memorial

stone out here...

somewhere.

Hang on. I think it's over here.

Sh*t.

It's all the kids' stuff.

A whole pile of it.

What would it be doing out here?

Morello went insane.

Hey, come here.

Matthew Morello?

I think that's who talked to us.

Hey.

I'm going.

Going where?

Home.

What's waiting for you there?

It's none of your business.

What if I wanted

to make it my business?

And how do you suppose you do that?

You gonna come over and

beat up my drunk dad?

If...

if I...

stay with you...

tonight...

would I be causing trouble?

No. Besides,...

I don't really want

to be alone tonight.

Yeah.

Neither do I.

My mother left when

I was just a baby,

and my dad hated her for it.

And I guess I did too.

I've just always been drawn to this place.

It's like something's pulling me here.

Are you scared?

I don't know.

Are you?

No.

Why not?

Because I...

I want it to be true.

Why?

Because if there's ghosts,

then maybe there's a heaven.

Are you okay, Sam?

I don't know.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Don't go thanking me yet.

I'm gonna make myself a bowl of cereal,

think about all the sh*t

I'm about to give you.

Oh, I'm so excited for when it gets warm.

Yeah.

I can go swimming every single day.

Oh, it's not dangerous.

You're being silly.

I'm a really, really,

really good swimmer, so...

it'll all be okay.

Oh, yeah. Me too.

But why would we leave?

- Well, I like it here.

- Anita?

Yeah?

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

Don't-don't say that.

You're-you're just trying to scare me.

Hi.

Morning.

These are for you.

I don't know if I imagined it,

and Sam imagined it, too.

But we were kind of stoned, so...

Oh.

Morning.

- Hey.

- Hey, Dad.

Well...

maybe you two were

having some kind of...

shared lovers' hallucination thing?

You know, a little adventure,

dash of danger.

It really happened, didn't it?

It really happened.

Coming to this house was a bad idea.

Don't say that.

Why not?

'Cause it means a lot to Mom and Dad.

You know, people who believe in

this sort of thing always talk about

opening doors and

inviting things through.
