Georgette woke up her sister late one evening with a box in her hand.
	"Georgette, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Look!" said Georgette presenting the box.
	"A Ouija board," said Zelda.
"Not just any Ouija board.  Grandmother's!" whispered Georgette.
	"Georgette, we're not supposed to play with that!" exclaimed Zelda.
"Oh what does she know?" asked Georgette.
	"Um... a lot," said Zelda.
"Ok fine I'll give you that.  But what harm could it do?" asked Georgette.
	"You never know who's on the other end!  Neither of us are experienced enough," said Zelda.
"You may not be but I am!" snapped Georgette.  "Fine!  I'll play by myself!"
	"You should put it back and go to sleep," said Zelda.
"No!  You may be chicken, but I'm not!" snapped Georgette and with that she returned to her own room.  She pulled the board out of the antique wooden box it was stored in and placed it on the floor in front of her.  She reached forward and placed her hands on the planchette.  Georgette stopped for a moment.
 	"Should I do this?" she asked herself.  The planchette moved to yes.  "Well alright then.  Is there someone there?"
	The planchette moved to yes.
"Are you going to hurt me?" asked Georgette.
	"No," replied the board.
"Can I ask anything?" asked Georgette.
	"Yes," replied the board.
"Is there more that I can do?" asked Georgette.
	"Yes," replied the board.
"Is the Three-fold rule true?" asked Georgette.
	"No," replied the board.
"Can I learn greater power?" she asked.
	"Yes," replied the board.
"Are grandmother and my parents holding me back?" 
	"Yes," replied the board.
"How can I learn greater power?" 
	"Upstairs," spelled the board.
"Upstairs?" asked Georgette.
	"Yes."
"I don't understand," said Georgette.
	"The attic," spelled the board.
"What is upstairs in the attic?"  she asked back..
