A Halloween Story
Bob Hill and his new wife Betty were vacationing in Europe... as it so happened, near Transylvania.
One evening, they were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It was late and raining very hard, and Bob could barely see the road in front of the car, when suddenly, the car skidded out of control. Bob attempted to correct the car - but to no avail - as the car swerved and smashed into a tree.
Moments later, Bob shook his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looked over at the passenger seat and saw his wife unconscious, with her head bleeding. Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knew he has to get her medical assistance immediately.
Bob carefully picked his wife up and began trudging down the road. After a short while, he saw a light, and as he headed towards the light, he realized it was coming from a large, old house. When he got to the house, he approached the door and knocked.
A minute passed, and then a small, hunched man opened the door.
Bob immediately blurted out, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"
"I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My master is a doctor though; come in, and I will get him!" so Bob brought his wife into the house.
Moments later, an older man came down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had a basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory."
With that, Igor picked up Betty and carried her downstairs, with Bob following closely. Igor placed Betty on a table in the lab, and when Bob collapsed from exhaustion and his own injuries, Igor placed Bob on an adjoining table.
After a brief examination, Igor's master looked worried. "Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion."
Igor and his master worked feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill were no more.
The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbed the steps to his conservatory, which housed his grand piano, for it is here that he has always found solace. He began to play, and a stirring, almost haunting melody filled the house.
Meanwhile, Igor was still in the lab tidying up. Suddenly, his eyes caught movement, and he noticed the fingers on Betty's hand were twitching, keeping time to the haunting piano music. Stunned, he watched as Bob's arm began to rise, marking the beat! He was further amazed as Betty and Bob both sat up straight!
Unable to contain himself, he dashed up the stairs to the conservatory, and as he burst in the door, he shouted to his master:
"Master, Master! The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"
(I am soooooo sorry.....but you really should've seen that one coming!!)
