Short 25: Graveyard Surprise (Halloween Special)

# Graveyard Surprise (Halloween Special) A short comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. In a misty, night‑time graveyard, among the cold stones of long‑abandoned graves, a beautiful young necromancer stands majestically with her staff. She faces a knight serious about engaging in a fight. Necromancer: Muahahaha! Attacking a necromancer in a graveyard, you clueless fool!

Panel 2. The necromancer raises her staff and arms, casting a spell that spreads luminous effects across the ground around her. Skeletons emerge from the graves. Necromancer: Skeletons! Rise from the dead!

Panel 3. The skeletons look at each other, some pat each other on the back, others hug, seemingly unaware of the necromancer's presence. A mix of disbelief and excitement ripples through them. In the background, the necromancer makes a horrified face: this isn’t the result she expected. Skeleton 1 (an adult): Hey, kiddo? Is that you? Skeleton 2 (a smaller one): Grandpa?! Skeleton 3 (holding another’s hand like a lover): Come along, love, everyone's here. Skeleton 4 (an elderly one, clutching its back): Hello, youth!

Panel 4. The necromancer is disgraced and her arms droop. The five skeletons now huddle together, arms intertwined. The knight roll on the floor laughing at the necromancer’s crushing failure. Necromancer: I hate tiny family graveyards.
