The lights of the chandelier above them flickers and then goes out. There is the sound of glass hitting glass as the chandelier swings violently above them. Unc goes to a window, just a few steps away and picks up a candle sitting on the sill and lights it with matches that are lying on the sill also. The candlelight flickers in a eerie fashion as Unc puts his arm around Linda. The two watch as the light bulbs from the chandelier float down to the floor like leaves falling gently from a tree. The flame of the candle blows out, leaving them in the dark again. UNC Damn! LINDA (soft, childlike) How do they do that? The candle is lit again. Unc shrugs. UNC I don't know...but it's been going on since your Mum started playing with that Ouija board. Unc leads Linda to his bedroom door. The two enter with Linda clinging to him. Unc goes to a dresser and pulls out several candles. He lights a couple of them and hands them to Linda to carry. The leave the room and walk down the hallway, placing lit candles on shelves along the way. Linda stops at the end of the hall. LINDA Can you smell that? It's Grandma's perfume! Unc inhales deeply and nods. UNC The bad smell is leaving. Unc leads Linda back to her bedroom. They enter and he tucks her in bed, giving her a peck on the cheek before leaving. UNC (continuing) Try and get some sleep, everything should be all right now. Linda watches as he leaves the room, pulling the covers up tightly around her neck.
