Midnight Pals: Haunted Home
Ai Jiang: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the town where all the houses are haunted Barker: that rules King: yeah that sounds really cool Jiang: oh you would think Jiang: but in fact Jiang: it's actually kind of depressing
Ai Jiang: so my family just moved into a new house today Jiang: Movin' was hard but we got squared away Jiang: Bells started ringin' and chains rattled out Jiang: I knew we'd moved in a haunted house
Jiang: see, in this town Jiang: you move into a house Jiang: and BAM! it becomes haunted Jiang: guaranteed Brian Asman: where is this town? Asman: i need to know for reasons Jiang: oh you couldn't get a house there Jiang: it's very exclusive
Jiang: there's a really long waiting list to get a house there Jiang: cuz the ghost that you're assigned Jiang: will actually turn out to be the ghost of someone you loved King: oh! i mean, that sounds good right? Jiang: yeah yeah it's good Jiang: or is it??? King: oh no!
Jiang: just think about what it would be like if your departed loved ones just hung around King: Poe: Barker: Lovecraft: Koontz: Jiang: like all the time Jiang: it'd get old real fast, believe me
Jiang: the mom is obsessed with the ghost of her dead son Jiang: so she makes his favorite food Jiang: every goddamn day Jiang: youtiao Jiang: what are we supposed to do, live on youtiao? Jiang: give me a break! Jiang: living people need other nutrients Jiang: we need protein!
King: what's a youtiao? Jiang: it's like a donut King: oh really? King: i don't know, doesn't sound so bad King: i think i could live on donuts Jiang: oh yeah that's what they all say
Jiang: just imagine Jiang: eating nothing but donuts every day Jiang: i think the living would envy the dead King: but wait, aren't the dead also eating youtiao...? Jiang: you heard me
Jiang: if someone you loved just hung around after they died Jiang: like you'd never be able to move on Jiang: you'd be doomed to be forever stuck in the past Jiang: a shadow of what you could be Koontz: whoooaaaa Koontz: it'd be like Koontz: YOU were the ghost!
Jiang: Jiang: oh yeah that's pretty good Jiang: this kid's pretty bright Poe: yeah that's our dean Poe: we're all very proud of him
