The deserted house next door to and owned by my night eyed friend is supposed to be haunted. Maybe it is haunted, in a way, by the very supposition that it is. I often say to night eyes, who to be sure actually does most of the supposing, 'Stop with your supernatural sounding off. Its sending people away. You won't have any friends and you won't get any new neighbors.'
'If I play my cards right, I will have paying tourists. Paying tourists! ' ' You don't even know any card games.' 'I used to. Anyway you can teach me.'

    Snap sounds OK, but I guess it might all go belly-up if the spirits come out 🥃🥃👻👻

    And any other more sophisticated card games might be a Bridge too far!
