When Joe saw the ghost, he ran like hell.
It chased him through town, the graveyards, and into the forest. Joe tripped over a stone, getting a sharp blow to his head. When he became etheric, the ghost looked at him in contempt.

Gwarsl fumed at Brazzk’s narrow escape. He hid in the sand dunes, knowing that Brazzk will pass through the red planet. This time, he planned to use a heat-seeking missile.
