In the funeral parlour of Sneed & Company Funeral Home, during the [[Victorian]] era, [[Redpath|Mr. Redpath]] grieves over the open casket containing his dead grandmother, [[Mrs Peace|Mrs. Peace]]. Closing his eyes in sorrow, he does not see a blue, glowing vapour wash over the corpse and enter it. Mrs. Peace's eyes snap open and she grabs Redpath by the throat, strangling him to death. [[Gabriel Sneed]], the undertaker, rushes in and tries to close the lid on the reanimated corpse but she knocks him unconscious to the floor before getting up and wandering out onto the street, wailing. | In the funeral parlour of [[Sneed and Company|Sneed & Company Funeral Home]], during the [[Victorian]] era, [[Redpath|Mr. Redpath]] grieves over the open casket containing his dead grandmother, [[Mrs Peace|Mrs. Peace]].

Some time later, [[Gwyneth]], Sneed's servant girl, comes back from the stables to find Sneed recovering from the cadavers' attack. This is not the first time that there have been zombie incidents going on in the funeral home, and Gwyneth tells Sneed that they need to get help. Sneed protests that it is not his fault, and they have to get Mrs. Peace back before she does any danger. Riding in the hearse, Sneed orders Gwyneth to use her [[Wikipedia:clairvoyance|clairvoyant]] abilities to seek the dead woman out, and Gwyneth focuses on the old woman's last desire: to see [[Charles Dickens]], who is giving a reading in a music hall in town at Talisen Lodge. Dickens himself is in a melancholic mood as he waits for his stage call. He feels old, is estranged from his family and his imagination is growing thin. He feels that he has seen all there is to see. | Some time later, [[Gwyneth]], Sneed's servant girl, comes back from the stables to find Sneed recovering from the cadavers' attack.
