27- Lord of the Mansion


Kim was wheeled back into the closet.

"I saw something," she said. "In the mansion."

"Was it vacuum-shaped?" Julian asked.

Kim shook. "Uh, yeah."

Aaron raised his plug. "The former leader of the Vacuum Brigade has moved into the Haunted House."

"Uh, who?" Lulu asked.

"You probably haven't met him," Aaron said. "He was the leader when I first came here, which is sometime in the early 90's."

Bruce whispered something to Kim. "He's awfully sweet on that dark ride."

"He just wasn't the same since he nearly overheated," Julian explained. "He decided to go into retirement a few years before I showed up."

Dorian appeared beside Haunt's control panel. "I am not familiar, but what storyline did you concoct?"

Haunt laughed. "Well, a tale of love, death, and reunion. A vampire antiques dealer reconnects with his ghostly bride and builds her a house. He invites an assortment of creatures to keep them company."
