Kudos to a clever solution. I doubt if many saw it coming even given the title which provides a nice slap on the head after the fact clue.
Still, I have to say that I'm disappointed that Lois didn't remain as a ghost. Both you and Pam (with the wonderful Tryst) chickened out in the end and allowed Lois to live. What's wrong with having a ghost as a character in a story?
Good job, as always. Write more.
