What!. How did they find out?. That’s impossible!. (There’s silence) Are
you sure?. (There’s silence) No, I won’t tell him anything. But, do they
know who did it, where he is, or who took him away?. (There’s
silence) Good, call me as soon as you can.

coffin.

CHARLES: We went to the cemetery. We saw how they buried you. We

were there!.

TIM: (scratching his head) Well, I’m trying to remember, but I

can’t. The only thing I know is that it was really dark, and I heard
people crying. That’s all.

SCOTT: This can’t be happening!.

TIM: Why do you keep telling me the same thing. Look, hold my hands!.

(Jason holds one of Tim’s hands)

JASON: You’re cold!.

SCOTT: What are we going to do?.

TIM: I came here to play with you.

CHARLES: Let’s get real. You can’t play Tim, you’re dead. I bet you
can hardly move.

TIM: You’re right, I can’t even feel my legs. I think I better go. I’ll see
you tomorrow in school.

SCOTT: No, Tim. You can’t go to school!.

CHARLES: What’s wrong?.

MOTHER: Do you remember that Susan called me this afternoon?.

CHARLES: Yes, why?.

MOTHER: Well, she told me that…I don’t know how to tell you this.

CHARLES: You’re scaring me, mom.

MOTHER: It’s about Tim. They found his grave opened, and they
haven’t found his body.

CHARLES: Mom… I saw him.

MOTHER: You saw who?.

CHARLES: Tim. He went to the park!.

MOTHER: Oh my God!.

CHARLES: Yes, mom. He went to play with us. We were all very
scared.

MOTHER: I don’t believe in ghosts, but if you saw him…

CHARLES: He didn’t look like a ghost, he was real!. Jason even touched
him, and he was really cold. Mom, I am scared!. What if they never find
him… what if he…

MOTHER: It’s late, and you have school tomorrow. Go to your room,
and we’ll see what happens tomorrow.
