"Sorry, Julian is fully booked for the next month."
So I asked for Sandy. |

"I'm so sorry, Sandy passed away in the middle of a particularly demanding role at the latest film-flick".
I slapped my brow, scratched my 3 day old beard and then blew my nose; any transient images and thoughts of a 'Sandy' doing what Sandy did quickly flashed by as I remembered the photographs that were at the heart of the case. |

I dropped the phone as the blonde bimbo abruptly swerved into an unmarked driveway. Screeching to a dusty halt in front of a cast-iron fence, I realized that we were in a cemetery!

I remembered that Sandy was quite fond of cemeteries, but for all the wrong reasons.
Looking at the long lines of tombstones, I couldn't help but wonder about what happens when we die; is there really an afterlife, or are all these people just dust and bones lying under big piles of dirt, their much ballyhooed 'souls' unable to prevent humanity's final destination: to end up as worm food. |

That particular thought reminded me of how hungry I was. I asked the bimbo if we could stop for a burger or better yet, some fried chicken.

"I'm on a diet" she screeched at me! "No fried chicken"

"OK, dollface" I replied. "I'll settle for a vegemite sandwich."

"ok, dollface" I said, again; chomping down on the sarnie .... "Where, what, how?"

"Didn't anyone teach you not to speak with a mouthful of food?" she asked, exasperated.
I grinned mischeivously and replied, "You probably know a lot more about 'mouthfuls' than I do, eh, darling?" |

I quickly realised that may not have been a diplomatic thing to splurt out, so I moved equally quickly on.....
"What's next in the plot?" |

I heard a scraping sound coming from the nearest grave, as if someone was trying to claw their way outside.
Sandy looked at me and said, "I guess he didn't like it Down Under." |

'Sandy' I thought to myself.
"Hello, Sandy," I said with a certain lack of conviction in my voice, and a lot of quiet dread .... "we were told you had passed on during a particularly strenuous film scene with Miss Whiplash IV......" |

(Whoops! Forgot about that.)
Suddenly, the figure next to me blurred, face melting into a formless mass of skin, tissue and flesh, before reforming into a new shape. "Julian!?" |

"Am I, [whatever our name is]?"
"Or are you dead?" |
