YOU MUST FIND YOUR OWN WAY…………HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Franklin and Harriet are desperate for money. They’ve barely enough to feed themselves and their trusty steed. Harriet finds an add in the local paper. She can’t believe her eyes! 10 balls to drivers and or riders, to haul a body, and/or body parts for Matthew the Mortician! That’s a weeks’ worth of groceries! For 1 job! ‘Tis indeed a gruesome chore, but the balls are much needed. Oh, by the way, balls are currency in indoor land. In case you didn’t know.
Upon arriving at Matthew the Mortician’s place, Franklin and Harriet notice a ticket booth. 1 ball gives your dear beast of burden a 5 minute go at bobbing for apples. A talented beast could get a good belly full of this mouth watering treat. They decide they will treat their trusty steed upon their return. After all, trusty steed is doing all the work here.
‘Tis time to collect the body and be off on their errand. They sign some papers and are given their pay. Trusty chap, Matthew the Mortician. The route is questionable as Matthew the Mortician points them towards “LUNITIC LANE”.
As the last lunatic appears they see a sign to stop and pay the toll on body and/or body parts. 1 ball per body and/or body parts. Harriet is scalding and Franklin is totally stressed out by the situation until he looks up and sees a sign for “THE BLUE BARREL TAVERN” He insists they go and have a drink to calm their nerves and sustain them for the remainder of the journey. Maybe someone there would have news or knowledge of their destination.
They pull up and order a drink. 1 ball per drink and have a chat with Bosco the Barkeep who offers directions to “THE WIDOW IRIS MAE”S PLACE” Refreshed and ready to complete their journey, they follow Bosco the barkeep’s direction . They are feeling pretty smug with a drink in their belly and 7 balls remaining in their bucket. Life is good! In no time they have reached their destination.
“THE WIDOW IRIS MAE” comes out her front door to greet them and thank them so very much for their service. Nice lady. She walks back to take a look at her beloved late husband when suddenly she wails, “That is not my Husband! You beasts! You cruel souls! Be gone! Go away! That is not my Husband! Oh! What have you done with him? Leave! Get out of my sight!”
Franklin and Harriet are horrified and confused. They decide it best to take their leave. They feel they’ve no choice but to take the body back to Matthew the Mortician. He’s gonna have to pay us double for this trouble! As they round the turn to go back, they discover they can’t. There is a STOP! NO ENTRY! sign ahead. Now what? Hey, look, there’s the sign for THE BLUE BARREL TAVERN! They agree, they must go back and have another drink after this. The friendly barkeep is sure to know how they can get back to Matthew the Mortician’s place.
They pull up to THE BLUE BARREL TAVERN for the second time. They order 2 more drinks, 2 balls, and Bosco the barkeep informs them the only way back to Matthew the Mortician’s is through the FREAKY FOREST. He tells them they will know they are going the right way when they see DAN THE HEADLESS LUMBERMAN. They finish their drink and are off on the final leg of their journey.
They drive through the twists and turns and finally! They arrive back at Matthew the Mortician’s. What they found though, was not what they expected. Matthew the Mortician greets them upon their return and hands them a bill, for 4 balls, for dropping off a body! As they turn to leave with just 1 ball to their name they see the ticket booth and remember their promise to their trusty steed.
What do they do?
