   Summary

   Arthur Lester didn't believe in ghosts. So, checking the attic after his daughter drew a creepy yellow demon named "Mister Doe" is just to make sure there are't any animals up there. No other reason. Except the Piano that looks freshly cleaned. The piano that is still in tune. The piano that when Arthur started playing it, summoned a demon in a yellow cloak.

   Arthur Lester totally doesn't believe in ghosts. Or Gods. Or Reincarnation. Right?
