You found a story! Living Ghosts by Maeve of Winter. Scary Tale. Rated G. WC: 3689 One dark and dreary Halloween night, Jim has a ghostly encounter on the Wheeler game preserve. But the ghosts might be more familiar to him than he'd ever imagined . . . |
The front door opens into a grand foyer. You stare in grim disbelief at what you think must have once been an impressive, beautiful home. Now, it's nothing more than a collapsing ruin - a gloomy, neglected relic from another era. You wish Jim Frayne the best, but in your opinion, the only thing left to be done at this point is razing the structure to the ground and starting over.
You still as you catch sight of something down a long passageway. Is that a woman? Here, in all this wreckage? "Hello?" you call out, your voice noticeably shaky. "Uh, s - sorry to have barged in on you..."
In the blink of an eye, the figure, or whatever it was you thought you saw, disappears. Almost at the same moment, you hear a door overhead slam shut. That's enough for you. Backpedaling quickly, you nearly trip as you hurry to get as far away from the abandoned mansion as possible.
