The Alternate Ending to Mummy

Kaythryne penned for her Access Granted blog an alternate ending The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt:

Johnny woke up suddenly. He sat up and rubbed his eyes to find he was in a hospital. Grandpa, the Proffesor, and Fergie were there. Grandpa’s eyes look red and puffy as if he had been crying. They were all looking grim and cheerless. Suddenly, Johnny remembered the whole reason why he had snuck up to the Squam House, had creeped into the haunted estate at midnight, had been chased by a mummified Chad Glomus, and had almost been burnt to a crisp.

“Where’s Grandma?” Johnny asked. When nobody answered, but merely looked gravely at each other, Johnny raised his voice and asked again. “Where is Grandma? Why isn’t she here? Where…”
“Grandma’s surgery… failed. I’m sorry Johnny,” Grandpa said without taking his eyes off the floor. He didn’t want Johnny to see that he was crying. Johnny was looking from the Professor, to Fergie, and back to the Professor with a look that suggested he was waiting for one of them to yell “April Fools!” Neither of them did.
