MARY-ANN 1: (OFF PANEL) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN EDWARD?
PANEL TWO: The shadow figure turns into Ed, who is wearing the same clothes that he had in PAGE 2, PANEL ONE.
PANEL THREE: Ed’s face turns into a scowl.
ED 2: WHAT’S IT TO YOU, MARY?
PANEL FOUR: Mary-Ann is floating a few feet in the air in a sitting position with a headless teddy bear in her arms, and she is looking at Edward angrily. She is wearing a pink nightgown. There is one window in the attic and there are over twenty boxes stacked in no particular order.
MARY-ANN 3: YOU WERE SPYING ON THE NEW FAMILY WEREN’T YOU?
PANEL FIVE: Ed shrugs his shoulders, rolls his eyes, and looks away from Mary, who is floating to the ground.
PAGE SEVEN: THREE PANELS
PANEL ONE: Mary-Ann walks up to Ed with a sweet smile on her face, but Ed is backing away from her as if he is scared. The bear is still in Mary-Ann’s arms.
MARY-ANN 1: YOU KNOW HUMANS CAN’T SEE US GHOSTS.
MARY-ANN 2: RIGHT?
ED 3: RIGHT…
PANEL TWO: Mary-Ann relentlessly smacks Ed around with her bear. Ed doesn’t try to dodge or hit back.
MARY-ANN 4: (SHOUTING) AND YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A TEA PARTY WITH ME!
ED 5: MARY CALM DOWN.
ED 6: YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GET LIKE THIS…
PANEL THREE: Jo drops a box next to the opened one she brought in before. The lights and electrical sockets are shooting out sparks. Jo’s face is full of fear as she starts to cover her face.
CAPTION 1: BAD STUFF HAPPENS IN THE HOUSE.
JO 7: OOOOOHHHHH MONKEY FARTS!
PAGE EIGHT: FIVE PANELS
PANEL ONE: Jo runs of the room while sparks from the lights shower around her.
JO 1: (SHOUTING) AAAHHHH!
PANEL TWO: Jo comes running out of the house and runs into her dad, who is caring several small boxes, which keep his head covered. She hits him square in the chest, just missing the stack of boxes.
PANEL THREE: Both Jo and her father fall to the ground with the boxes landing on the two in such a way that they cover the father’s face and one on Jo’s stomach. Jo’s eyes bulge from her from her head in pain.
JO’S DAD 2: (GROAN) OOOWWWW…
JO 3: OUCHIES!
PANEL FOUR: Jo’s dad is shoving the boxes off his head, but it still isn’t shown. He is also attempting to sit up as he does so.
JO’S DAD 3: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT JO?
PANEL FIVE: Jo, her face showing a mixture of fear and pain, sits up and points at the house. The box rolls off her chest.
JO 4: THE WIRING IN THE HOUSE IS GOING CRAZY!
PAGE NINE: SEVEN PANELS
PANEL ONE: Jo and her parents are in the doorway looking at the sparks flying out of the sockets. Jo’s parent’s heads are out of the panel, and Jo is hiding behind her father with her head sticking out from behind his back. Jo is also pointing at the sparks.
JO 1: SEE!
PANEL TWO: Jo’s mother turns to Jo’s father, blocking Jo from view. Jo’s mother puts her hand on his shoulder, and neither of the parent’s head are seen in the panel.
JO’S MOTHER 2: DEAR, I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUSE BOX.
PANEL THREE: Jo looks at her mother. The fear on her face is replaced with a combination of shock and annoyance.
JO 3: SAY WHAT?
PANEL FOUR: Jo’s father walks into the house, not seeming to care about the sparks.
JO’S FATHER 4: IT MIGHT ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUITS TOO.
PANEL FIVE: Jo crosses her arms in and gives a cynical look.
JO 5: (WHISPER) IF THAT’S THE PROBLEM THEN AN ANT.
PANEL SIX: Jo’s father walks toward the stairs that lead to the basement, being careful not to get hit by the sparks. His head is not in the panel.
JO’S FATHER 6: I’LL TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SOMEING CATCHES ON FIRE.
PANEL SEVEN: The sparks stop.
PAGE TEN: FOUR PANELS
PANEL ONE: Jo’s mother walks in the house with a hanging light fixture hiding her head, but Jo stays in the door way eyeing the walls as if waiting for more sparks.
JO’S MOTHER 1: LOOK LIKE YOUR FATHER TURNED OFF THE POWER.
JO 2: BUT HE ONLY JUST WENT DOWN THE STAIRS…
PANEL TWO: Jo’s mom turns to Jo her arms are crossed; only her chest and neck are in the panel.
JO’S MOTHER 3: WELL YOUNG LADY, IF YOU WISH TO BE A GRIPE,
PANEL THREE: Jo’s mom points to the stairway while the arms are still crossed. Her head is not in the panel.
JO’S MOTHER 4: YOU CAN GO TO YOUR ROOM.
PANEL FOUR: Jo starts walking up the stairs with her head held low with one hand on the railing and the other in her pocket.
JO 5: (THOUGHT) I HAVEN’T EVEN PICKED MY ROOM YET…
