Ernie Saw a Ghost

Ernie, the ancient janitor,
swears he saw a ghost
in a suite where he cleans
he believes it to be the spirit
of a man that performed suicide.
He prays to it to do him no harm

Ernie's afraid of the spirit in room 501G
but still asks it to say hello to his mother.

The fascination and fear of death and spirits put in a wonderful way indeed!
