One day, after about a month after you said that, you get a letter
from Dave's parents that he tried to go get Barbara in the haunted
house, and that they found his skeleton at the doorstep.
You shriek in shock. Your best friend, dead!
You don't look for Barbara. Dave is driving you crazy because he
misses her so much. You say to him, "It isn't too bad, it's just
a person."
