Year 1940

"So Suzie dear you're saying that you can see ghosts?"

A sigh escaped the woman's lips.

"Oh but it is true Gerdine!" "I would never joke about such a thing!"

"Alright then, do pass me my makeup purse"

They did so silently.

It wasn't until the other woman finished, that she spoke.

"Alright, let's say I believe you!"

"How long have you been like this?"

"Oh I don't know Gerdine!" "Months now?"

The woman began pacing back and forth. She nervously smoothed her skirt.

"Whatever am I going to do?!" "They'll think me crazy!!"

The TV background noise abruptly stopped when turned off.

"First calm down"

"So who's the latest ghost you've been seeing?"

"Ah, right!" "It's a ghost from the 1800's"

Gerdine sat up, now interested.

"An oldie"

Suzie responded with a hum.

"Suzy, why don't we hit the Phinmer theater stage tomorrow?"

"Oh, but I have work tomorrow" "Oh fine, but after"

She was engulfed by a hug from Gerdine.

"Tootaloo dear!"

Suzy let out a soft, bit wary smile as she slumped into a couch exhausted.
