NARRATOR: Kelly took a deep breath. Then ...
KELLY: "Wallace Gray this play date is OVER! Give me back my son. Wallace, you are in TIME-OUT."
NARRATOR: Suddenly, the ground shoots upward like a small volcano. Soil, sticks and worms fly over Kelly's head and rain down again -- followed by her son, who lands beside her.
BEN: (COUGHING, CHOKING)
KELLY: "Ben! Ben!"
BEN: (COUGHING, CHOKING) "Mom, Mom! Are you there? I can't see. All this dirt in my eyes."
KELLY: "Ben, I'm here, I’m here baby, right here. Oh, sweet Benny-boy. Can you breathe? Are you really ok? What happened? How long were you in there?"
BEN: "I don't know, Mom. But I didn't like it. I didn't like where Wallace lives. I want to go home."
KELLY: "Oh, me too, Sweetie. C’mon, Ben, put your arm around me. C’mon.
(SOUNDS)
BEN: "And Mom, one more thing ... "
KELLY: "What is it, Ben?"
BEN "I don't want to be a ghost for Halloween."
(MUSIC)
