At that exact moment, the same drunk who had been rejected by “all the bars in town” was staggering past the hospital. He was minding his own business, muttering about the bartender’s monopoly, when a massive, white, heavy tangle of fabric plummeted from the sky and enveloped him completely.
Thinking he was under attack by a vengeful spirit, the drunk began to scream. He flailed his arms wildly, swinging punches into the white abyss and cursing at the top of his lungs. He wrestled with the heavy, wet sheets, spinning in circles and fighting for his life until the tangled pile finally slid off his shoulders and landed in a heap at his feet.
The drunk didn’t look up. He remained focused on the heap of fabric, a look of grim satisfaction crossing his face. He wiped sweat from his brow and replied with total conviction, “I’m not entirely sure, officer, but I think I just beat the absolute hell out of a ghost.”
