After handing them two pamphlets, she stood up and lumbered past them. Marcus and Marjorie watched as she walked into a wall several times, eventually stepping to the side, and fell down a very long flight of stairs. When she finally stopped at the bottom of the stairs with a fantastic faceplant, she began to snore. Marcus and Marjorie quickly walked into the first exhibit. There they saw some spooky scary skeletons, and then some more exciting old dead people. They came to the skeleton of another long dead...
