The monk ran into the hallway. "We must get out of here, but what can we do? Juanita is agoraphobic. She's been fine while we've been in here, but if she has to go outside, she'll become fearful and attract the dead things."
"Well, we seem to be doing a pretty good job of attracting them without her help!" I said.
"Those posthumous insomniacs must be attracted to something in here!" exclaimed Mbu.
"Them bollocks is a biznitch!" cried Desmond.
"Please, help me think of how we can escape with my daughter," pleaded the monk.
That snapped us out of our fearful ramblings. We regrouped to think of a plan. Mbu hit upon an idea. "What if we tell her that we have a surprise for her? We can blindfold her and lead her to a safer location. Wherever one of those might be."
I interjected an idea. "I did see a building at the top of that hill out there. Having the higher ground should give us the advantage of being able to see them from afar so that they can't sneak up on us like that dude out there. If we go with Mbu's idea, we can lead all of us to safety."
Desmond voiced a concern. "How many people are there here?"
The monk answered, "You three, Juanita, me, the lady and her son and the older Asian lady."
"Okay, so if you want to go get your daughter, us three will gather the family. We'll meet up at the back door because the man out there seems to be attacking the front of the building" I said. We all agreed and set the impromptu plan in motion.
The three of us approached the little family who had relocated indoors. I went to the young lady. "Hi. We're going to go for a field trip up the hill. Would you like to tell your son and the old lady?" She called her little boy over and started reading to him from the book. I decided upon a different tactic. "Excuse me, miss? There is a library at the top of the hill, if you'd like to find more books to read to your son." That got a response from her. She told her son and the old lady about the library at the top of the hill. The boy started doing jumping jacks for reasons only a little boy would understand.
"Chee kon yeh mom weh," said the old lady.
The eight of us met at the back door as planned. The little girl was blindfolded and had a big smile on her face. I said a silent prayer in my head and opened the door.
