Everything's fine... It feels like heaven. I see my parents... They look happy... They have a present for me, I wonder... It's a cat! So sweet and pretty. Dark as the deepest night. It's Mr. Midnight! My best friend... My only friend... We are having dinner, and I see Aunt Grace too. I really like her a lot. It's Friday. My parents are going out... Aunt Grace takes good care of me... We are having so much fun! It's Monday night... I'm playing with Mr. Midnight. But something feels real bad... A strange creature outside my window... I don't like it. It scares me... Suddenly I hear something... It's Mom! Screaming... I want to know what's wrong! A bright light shines from my parents' room... I go closer... And closer... Mom? Dad? Please don't... Mommy... Daddy...? (parents died; house fills up with blood; runs away and trips; people find her; Mr. Midnight goes missing)

Doctor Deern: Fran... please, follow my voice. On the count of three, you will wake up... One... Two...(Fran is in her doctors office) Three... Fran, how do you feel?

Fran: I'm fine, I guess. Just sad to see the same things...

 Doctor Deern: Sadness is something everybody has within...

Fran: I really want to know who killed my parents...

Doctor Deern: The police are working on it.

Fran: The police are doing nothing!

Doctor Deern: Don't be so negative. Surely we will get answers soon. But now, I have something for you, Fran.

Fran: What is it?

Doctor Deern: See the desk? There's a little package for you. It's from Aunt Grace. Take it.

Fran: *takes purse* This was my mother's purse...

Doctor Deern: Open it. There's something inside.

Fran opens the purse and finds a note from Aunt Grace.

Note:

Dearest Fran: Here is the purse you like so much. I thought you would like to have it. When I was thinking about you, I remembered that you like to EXAMINE objects and COMBINE with other things. So I hope you'll always keep this purse and give it and all the other things you find a good USE. Never forget that creativity is absolutely the greatest gift you have. Love, Aunt Grace.

 Doctor Deern: She is worried about you...

Fran: I'm worried too, because I'm not crazy and still here!

Doctor Deern: Stop it! You are out of control young lady.

Fran: Can I go to my room now?

Doctor Deern: Yes, you can leave. But before you do, it is time for your new medicine.

Fran: I don't want to try more medicine.

Doctor Deern: It's called Duotine, and it will make you feel vey relaxed. Nurse, we're ready!

Nurse: Anything new today, Doctor Deern?

Doctor Deern: Nothing, actually. Same visions as before.

Nurse: Oh, I see... Here Fran, take your medicine...

Fran takes a pill

Fran: I don't feel so good...

Then the room is bloody, the door is gone, and then heads (mom&dad) and guts came falling down from the ceiling, then a black shadow appeared behind her, and then Fran fainted and went back to reality where Docter Deern was at her aid.

Doctor Deern: Oh, no! Take here back to her room! And Nurse... don't let her take this ever again.

Monster(remember him?): Beware, Fran Bow... If you leave the house of madness... I will hunt you down... Catch you... And bring you back to insanity...

A tear of blood drops from Fran's face.

Mr. Midnight: Fran? Wake up! The medicine will help you escape. I'll be waiting for you in the forest! I love you...
