The sound of sleigh bells echoed throughout the house, punctuated by staccato thumps. Holiday cheer was all around. Tinsel hung from the mantle and lights twinkled on the tree, a rotten reminder of the happiness that should've been in this house. The thumps continued, but no one answered.

I tiptoed through the house. Past the bowling ball, the toaster, and the sharpened keys of a Skellington bone xylophone that littered the steps. I was hired for one job and that machine gun thunking sounded like my first clue.

A silhouette stood framed in the second story window, the hazy smoke of a dame's last drag hanging in the air. I looked her up and down, my eyes lingering on her...ears. Horse ears. I touched her shoulder, but it was just cardboard. I knew I was in the right place.

Another thump from the drywall. Time to find him.
