Transcript
Miss Shaw stands beside the remains and holds up a small object. A young man stands behind her. Miss Shaw: “Your Eminence, one knock if you consent to the foot, temporarily. Two if you'd rather move forward with Sam's alternative.” The severed head and rib cage lie on the floor beside a person's boots. Severed head: “Conditional acceptance, I think.” The severed arm lifts a hand as the head looks toward the boots. Miss Shaw: “Temporary and reversible. We find the owner and give it back. And this is not permission to strangle Erasmus.”
Image description
Miss Shaw and a young man stand among bones and columns while a severed head and rib cage lie in a pool of blood, and the head raises an arm in response to them.
About this chapter
A housing-weary tenant, his Goth lawyer girlfriend and a vain necromancer try to prove the living and the dead can share a house fairly. Cheap rent, utilities included, undead housemates. At least they don't eat your food.
