Kayi and Carlos reluctantly followed old Bruno down and down the winding staircases to his laboratory.
"My new helpers," the nu mou said. "You may start by cleaning out the floateye eye globes. Careful not to harm the jellies."
Zombies would have loved the laboratory and settled down, calling it home. Indeed, a vampire coffin lay in the corner. It seemed to be used often, but by who?
"Eech!" Carlos cried, stepping out of a large red blob.
"Did you step on a jellie?" Bruno's voice called.
"Yes, kupo! I stepped in the jellie! I admit! I squished it! It's dead, kupo! DEAD!" Carlos screamed. He was basically crying. "Can we go now?"
Kayi saw no reason to be afraid. Until she saw the floateye eye globes. They were the huge glowing eyes in the glass orbs in the end of the corridor- a huge number of them, each staring out with the esscence of its former owner.That wasn't what scared her. No one had cleaned it for, say, maybe a few millenia.
"Oh, great, Carlos! Let's try finish before next year!"
