Everyone's eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what they'd just heard. After a brief silence, Vanessa suddenly burst into loud, shrill laughter. "CeCe? Oh my goodness, that's hilarious!"

We were acting like a human couple on their first dates, I thought. "Care to share the joke?" He continued with his bored look. "I hope I'm not in it." I covered a giggle and then straightened myself to give a serious reply. "I just thought of a funny joke. That's all." "Enlighten me." He leaned back and smiled a challenge at me.

Tell me one of your terrible jokes?” “You wound me,” he said, clutching his chest dramatically. “But yes. Absolutely.” He cleared his throat, adopting a serious tone. “Why don’t skeletons fight each other?” Riele blinked, momentarily thrown off. “Why?” “Because they don’t have the guts.” The joke was terrible.

If only these two are not dear to him, he wouldn't take on two minds to brutally punish them. “You made it sound like I am very old.” “Aren't you?” Viller cracked a joke. It made Jek supressed his laughter.

he pondered. The rain pelted the top of the house with a frightening intensity, and the wind howled. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could see that he hadn’t just imagined something. A dark shape was huddled in the corner. He could see its head shaking as if it were having a seizure. He heard gurgling noises coming from it as its body quaked.

“Well, with everything going on, I don’t know why anyone would want to move onto the property.” Harold laughed and started gesturing with a pudding cup in one hand and a plastic spoon in the other. “This diva ain’t afraid of no ghosts, if you’ll allow me to get all Ray Parker Jr. for a minute.
