My brain inside the mummy. Yes. I still had my mind. I could still think like me. I was me without my body.
I was trapped, a prisoner inside these ancient tar-stained rags. But somehow, I was alive. I was still Happy Silverman.
The bandages felt tight around my head. A narrow opening allowed me to see the ceiling. But could I make a sound? Could I speak?
I tried.
And uttered a croak, a choking sound.
And then I found my voice. âWait!â I cried. âRaman? Are you still here? Wait!â
Silence.
I waited. Waited.
Then I called out again. âRaman?â
I heard footsteps, and then a face peered over the side of the mummy case. My face. My face stared down at me. âWhat do you want?â
âD-donât leave me here,â I stammered. âYou need me.â
My face blinked. âNeed you?â Raman said in my voice. âWhy do I need you?â
âBecause you donât know anything,â I said. My mind was spinning. I was thinking fast. âYou donât know the town. You donât know my class. My friends. You donât know anyone.â
He gazed down at me. He didnât reply.
âYou donât know where I live,â I said. âWhere will you go at night? Where will you stay? You donât know what a school bus is. Or a car. Or anything.â
He still didnât speak.
âYou donât know anything!â I said again. âEverything has changed since you were alive. Listen to me, Raman. Itâs like you landed on a different planet.â
âPlanet?â he said finally. He scratched my head. âPlanet?â
âYou need me as a guide,â I told him. âYou want to find your amulet? You canât do it without my help.â
He gazed down at me for another long moment. I could see he was thinking hard. Finally, he nodded. âYou promise you will help me if I return you to your body?â
âI promise,â I said. âIâm excited to help a king. An ancient king.â
âI never lived to be ancient,â he murmured. He lowered his eyes sadly. âI was murdered. Then a thief stole my amulet and escaped with it.â
He gripped the side of the mummy case. âBut I know where the thief is!â he exclaimed. âHe is here.â
âIâI can help you,â I said. âI will search for him with you.â
Was he going to let me out of this mummy and back into my body?
âI will not succeed if the thief knows I have followed him here,â Raman said. âIf I return you to your bodyâ¦if I allow you to help me, you must keep me a secret. You must not let anyone know I am here.â
âIâll keep your secret,â I said. âI swear.â
Iâd swear anything to be released from this mummy!
Please. Please.
If I could have crossed these mummy fingers, I would have had them all crossed.
âYou must act as usual,â Raman said. âYou cannot give anyone a hint that I am here.â
âI promise,â I said. âNo one will be able to guess.â
He thought about it for another moment. Then I felt the vibrations start again, down the entire mummy body.
The room appeared to shake. Red and yellow smears of color clouded my eyes.
