Slappy- Red Ray

The mummy took one more step, swinging his fists in front of him.
Slappy opened his eyes wide—and a red ray of light came shooting out of them. A powerful light beam that made the whole hallway glow with a pulsing red as if on fire.
Eyes wide, Slappy aimed the ray at the mummy’s head. Arragotus froze. His arms fell to his sides.
The ray flamed from Slappy’s eyes. Brighter … brighter … casting the mummy in a blinding circle of light.
“Nighty-night!” Slappy shrieked. “Unpleasant dreams!”
...

I had to look away. The red ray was hurting my eyes. Beside me, Logan covered his face with his hands. Even with my eyes shut, I could still see the red glow pulsing on my eyelids.
When the glow faded, I opened my eyes.
Slappy stood in place, shaking his head, blinking his eyes.
The mummy didn’t move. He stood frozen in place. Frozen by Slappy’s powerful ray.
“Yes!” I cried. I pumped my fist above my head. “You did it! Slappy— you did it!”
We started to cheer.
But then the mummy rolled his head on his shoulders. He raised his arms over his head, stretching. And then with a roaring groan, Arragotus lurched toward Slappy as if nothing had happened.
“I guess my ray didn’t work on you,” Slappy said calmly. “I did give you a nice tan! Hahahaha!
