GHOSTHUNTERS
Amy noticed a pale,
attractive man in the hotel lobby. “Are you with the Ghosthunters?”
“Do I look like a
nut-job?”
Amy laughed,
embarrassed. “Who really believes in ghosts?”
At midnight the
Ghosthunters walked the cold streets.
Suddenly a woman
whimpered and pointed.
A thrilled Amy saw
nothing.
“See any ghosts?”
said Lobby Man later.
“Not yet.”
“You'll try the
park?”
“How did you know?”
“It's
my regular haunt.”
“Hah, good joke.”
Amy prodded his arm, but her finger passed through it.
White-faced, she
checked out and fled.
Who really believes in
ghosts?

ReplyDeleteCan't trust anyone to be who you think they are. :)
DeleteA very pale attractive man
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist adding that little hint about him. :)
DeleteAw. Here she had a chance to have a conversation with what she was looking for and she runs instead. I guess she should have been more careful about what she looked for.
ReplyDeleteYes, when faced with a real live ghost she ran. :)
DeleteGreat development in this story, with a fun twist at the end. Good writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI hope it wasn’t called the Roach Motel:). This is great and loved reading this which goes so well the photo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback, Birgit.
DeleteOh wow, great take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Tessa.
DeleteGood story, Susan. I think I would have checked out also. I loved the description. :) --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteI definitely would too, Suzanne. (But who believes in ghosts?)
DeleteDear Susan,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite haunts. Love it. Well told ghost tale.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle. Glad you liked it. :)
DeleteHa, a bit of a shock for poor Amy!
ReplyDeleteYes, she wasn't expecting that! :)
DeleteNot many ladies run away from an attractive man, even if he is a little past his sell-by
ReplyDeleteHe he - more than a little! Thanks for commenting. :)
DeleteYour story fits the photo very well – both are nicely spooky.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patsy. It was the out-of-focus figure that clinched it.
DeleteThis was a fun one, Alice. I love how the ghosts are right there without you having to look for them. Of course, if you don't want to see them, that's a whole other story!
ReplyDeleteGhosthunting for fun is one thing. Encountering a real ghost is something else. (I'm Susan by the way.)
Deletei often hear people say that ghosts are just like us. one thing to make sure if somebody is one is to look at his feet. if they're floating in the air, it's a sign that he is. :)
ReplyDeleteHe he - maybe she was too busy enjoying his attractiveness and didn't look down. :)
DeleteScary! I'd have checked out too :)
ReplyDeleteI believe that there's a lot around that we cannot see...
Ghosts are included and they are a mystery!

I am an out and out sceptic, but they're fun to write about. Thanks for commenting, Anita.
DeleteI love this, great twist (with foreshadowing) and funny, too. Poor Amy, meeting an attractive man and then he's a ghost.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gah. Appreciate the feedback.
Deletegood one, susan!
ReplyDeleteFantastic story. Clever twist. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteNice twist!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Violet. :)
DeleteHis pale complexion was a dead giveaway! ;-)
ReplyDeleteA fun, well written story.
He he - well I had to give a little clue!
DeleteHa! Ha! Fun story. He needs to work on his tan otherwise he risks getting recognised ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe he - I'm not sure if ghosts can do that! :)
DeleteThat was fun, Susan! Such a cool ghost.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fatima. Glad you liked it.
DeleteHe seems charming - I wonder if there's any future in a relationship across the life/death divide? Great writing, Susan
ReplyDeleteNow that's an interesting question, Lynn! Thanks for the feedback.
DeleteFunny story!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. :)
DeleteHa. Very nice. Sorry it took me so long to get here. Been very busy!
ReplyDeleteNo problem - and thanks for taking the trouble when you're busy.
