I’ll make you suffer!

Why?

Because.

Because.

Because you want everyone to hurt just as much as you are.

So, whenever you wake up, you play this mean game, but you don’t play fair!

They hurt me.

So, you hurt them back?

I wanted everyone to see how rotten they were.

You’re just like them, Agatha.

No, I’m not!

You’re a bully!

No, I’m not!

Ahh!

They did something awful, but that doesn’t mean you should, too.

All that’s left in you now is mean and horrible!

That’s not true!

Then stop!

This is wrong and you know it!

You spent so long remembering the bad people that you’ve forgotten the good ones.

There must have been somebody who loved you and cared for you.

You don’t remember them?

Leave me alone!

But you’re not alone!

You have to remember!

Keep away from me!

Remember!

Aggie.

My name was Aggie.

I remember, my mommy brought me here once.

We sat under the tree and she told me stories.

They all had happy endings.

And then those horrible men came and took me away, and I never saw her again!

Sometimes when people get scared, they say and do terrible things.

I think you got so scared that you forgot who you are.

But I don’t think you’re a witch.

Not really.

You don’t?

I think you’re just a little kid with a really special gift who only ever wanted people to understand her.

So, we’re not all that different at all.

But what about the people who hurt you?

Don’t you ever want to make them suffer?

Well, yeah, but what good would that do?

You think just because there’s bad people out there, that there’s no good ones either?

I thought the same thing for a while, but there’s always someone out there for you, somewhere.

I just want my mommy.

I’m sorry, Aggie.

She’s gone.

That story you were telling, how does it end?

I think that’s up to you.

Is this where they buried me?

It’s a pretty good place to sleep.

Then you can be with your mom again.

Sleep tight.

Norman?

Norman!

My brave little man!

I thought I was going to lose you.

Mom!

You’re embarrassing me.

That’s my job.

Psst.

Good job, Norman.

Well done, son.

You did it.

So, are we going to need statements?

No!

Ow!

That was my fingernail.

You know what it’s like.

You join a mob and you say things.

I was merely inhabiting the role.

Yeah, it was the others.

They pushed me into it.

Yeah, me and Norman are in a lot of the same classes.

We’re pretty much inseparable best buds, and we do a lot of psychic investigations together.

We have a blog, actually.

You should check it out.

So, I was thinking maybe we could catch a movie sometime.

Nothing scary.

That sounds great, Kathy.

You know, you’re going to love my boyfriend.

He’s, like, a total chick-flick nut!

Hey, Neil.

You did it!

You stopped the witch’s curse, and made the zombies go away and saved pretty much everything!

I guess.

I just wanted to say thanks.

You stood by me, all the time.

Yeah, of course!

Don’t get weird or anything.

So, do you think now everything is going to turn back to normal?

Well, as normal as it could be.

But first, here’s Mindy Rinager, with a kitten on roller skates.

Son.

Hi, Dad.

What are you watching?

A scary movie.

Oh, yeah.

Um.

Your grandma here, is she?

Right.

Of course she is.

Is she, uh.

Is she, uh, sitting next to me?

Hi, Mom.

So, what’s happening now?
