Questions talking about the funeral and all of the pieces of information Brenda now knew about her Great Uncle.

“His name is supposed to be on a State wrestling trophy in the school’s trophy case and Alice was a real brain. Mrs. Podmore told me she had been tops in all her classes until she disappeared,” said Brenda.

“I bet not turning in 50 year’s worth of assignments really brought down her grades!” chuckled Andy. They were in Andy’s backyard. Josh looked across the snow-covered stubble of the cornfield.

“Boy, return to the well.”

Josh glanced at Jerika to see if she had heard anything. She was talking energetically to Brenda about something. He looked down and saw a bit of green beside a large rock. “Return to the well,” weakly rasped the voice of an old one.

Josh turned and walked into the field without warning. But, since this was how they had been wandering all day, Andy turned and followed without question. Brenda and Jerika noticed them heading into the field and soon feel into step.

“Do you think we’ll ever see the ghost again?” asked Andy.

“I mean we did what she wanted. Will she leave the field unhaunted?”
