To whom it may concern

It's the 14th of the month, and that's the date we put aside to think about all those amazing minor characters, places, organisations and general backdrop that make Eerie so compellingly watchable.

This month's theme is:

Happy Brothers Yoghurt

Sheila was already at her desk when Simon arrived, blue-white semi-translucent fingers flying over the keyboard.

"Boss!" she greeted him, then, spotting the familiar silhouette of Bert and/or Ernie in the doorway behind him, "Double boss!"

"Morning Sheila," said Simon, taking off his heavy winter jacket and exchanging it for a crisp white lab coat.

"Morning Sheila!" echoed the Wilson twins, removing matching sunshine-yellow rain-slickers to reveal identical (and, to Sheila's undead eyes, unbearably hideous) knitted sweater vests over paisley-patterned dress shirts.

"What brings you two down here?" Sheila asked, handing Simon a clipboard with the day's schedule neatly pinned to it. "I thought you were busy getting the frozen yoghurt business off the ground."

Bert - at least, Sheila assumed it was Bert, although she was basing this on her pre-death memories of Bert Reynolds and the fact that this twin had a slightly more luxuriant moustache than the other - beamed.

"Happy Brothers Yoghurt is already up and running," he said. "We hired a very capable young lady named Radford-"

"Presumably some sort of niece," his brother added. "Apparently, Radford's run in the family."

"And she's got everything under control," Bert finished.

"So we thought we'd stop by here."
