"Julia, I know it's you. I never really believed in ghosts before, but... I mean, you... Well, you're obviously real, and... and I just wanted to say... Well, I'm really sorry about what happened to you and your father and... It's not that I don't appreciate all this attention you've been giving me, but... uh... You see, I have all this work to do, and I really should... Oooff!"
Air was suddenly forced from my lungs, and I had the unmistakable impression that Julia was sitting on me with her legs straddling my sides! Her thighs were as cold as her hands! I wondered what was going on and was just about to ask when I saw the glint of metal tweezers rising from the table! I knew instantly what she was going to do, and I fought like mad to stop her, but my arms were trapped at my sides and my legs kicked at the air uselessly! A powerful, icy grip came over my face, holding my head perfectly still as the tweezers descended, and one by one I felt the hairs of my eyebrows being ripped out! Gradually the lower halves of both brows were removed, leaving only a thin arc high above each eye, and I knew without seeing that my face would appear much less masculine as a result!
