"First date at a cemetery? Yeah, I'm going to pass," I say, glaring at him and shaking my head. "I can't believe you brought me here. I don't mess with ghosts. If you were broke, you should have just said that." I turn my back to him and walk away.

The front of the house was so tattered, the white paint chipping so much you could barely tell the house was once white. Most of the shudders were missing of barely hanging on. The emptiness of the house seemed to engulf my entire soul leaving only despair and pain. The feelin...
"Let's talk about something else," the elderly gentleman said kindly, putting his tea cup down and looking out the window.
I pursed my lips, "You know I can't do that, Dr. Thom. It's a matter of utmost importance. Of national security..."
