Subject:      INT: Writers Party: Day one

"I love the early morning here, don't you, Roz?"

"This is the best place I've been in a long time, Phanny," says Roz the
Zor.  "I think I'll finally have some time to write."

They slowly shuffle along the beach at the edge of the water, inspecting
each gentle wave for treasures.  They are unaware of the figure stalking
them, in a plaid kilt.....  A breeze brings movement to Phanny's long hair
and Roz's beautiful skirt.

"Roz, tonight we're all going up to the haunted house on the mountain side
there.  Will you come along?  There will be a seance .... Hagatha will be
the hostess to show us through the old mansion ... and who knows what we
might phind up there."

"You think I can climb that far?"

"You don't have to climb, Roz.  The natives have a handy dandy seat they
can take you up on.... just like a Queen!  Four of them.... they are
strong as oxes.... but they won't go in the house.  They are terrified of
it and believe evil spirits live inside.  A long, interesting history....
this house has."

"What happens if I need to get out in a hurry?"

"Ummmm.... they will wait a little ways phrom the house, if we don't stay
after midnight."

"And after midnight....?"

"I've never been there that late.... Hagatha and others will tell us about
it tonight....  But today -- today we will all go out in outrigger canoes
... out to a small island where snorkeling is good.  You'll come along, if
we promise not to tip you over?"

"I'll consult Sigmund about that one."
