Maybe it's age discrimination. Maybe it's their lengthy criminal records. Maybe it's prejudice against the supernatural class. Whatever the reason, roommates Vampire and Mummy are not getting hired. Making matters worse, their rent is due to a landlord that isn't scared of monsters.

Since no one else will hire them, they decide to open a business and hire themselves. Adopting the adage that 'you should do what you know', Vampire and Mummy decide that thousands of years of sleeping makes them sleep experts.

After such a determination, it isn't long before the doors of "Mattresses, Sarcophaguses and Caskets!" open for the first time. They haven't closed since.
