Ghost Story
If youāre reading this right now, you might want to brace yourself, because what youāre about to read about is highly regarded as strange and paranormal. Please donāt judge me, please donāt hate me after you read this.
It all started when I was walking home, alone, at night. I had just gotten out of the senior prom and was a little head-over-heels still, with my dress all messy and my hair falling out of its bun. The skies were thundering and a figure appeared in front of me. I couldnāt see its face but it was very, very pale.
For a moment I thought I was just exhausted and delirious and I needed to go to sleep, but then it started to stalk me. All. The. Way. Home.
I ran the rest of the way, scared to death, clanking loudly in my too-small heels. Right now Iām writing this as Iām hidden in my closet, lights off, barely breathing, still smelly from a mixture of spilled fruit punch to boyās body spray rubbing off on me to my own smeared makeup and worn-off deodorant. Iām scared, so if youāre reading, please help me!
āOh Margaret!ā
I freeze. How does it know my name? It sounds like my dadā¦ but heās not home. Heāsā¦ dead, he died in a car accident years agoā¦ I peek out the door to see if heās there andā¦
āHello. How nice to finally see you again.ā
Itās my dead dadās face staring right back at me.
