Opening Line
"# The Haunted Mansion Western When the floorboards beneath Dr. Okonkwo's boots began humming the same frequency as her dead husband's old harmonica, she knew the mansion wasn't haunted—it was *calling*—and she had exactly until sundown to dig up what it wanted before the men on horseback outside decided to burn it down with her still inside."
