Drawing from typical tropes of supernatural or ghost stories, create a short story set in an old manor house.

100 Years Of Being Dead

After nearly 100 years of being dead, you start to realize how boring haunting is.


In a twirl of translucent petticoats, I turned to stare at the gleaming cars that pulled out of the driveway.


With an empty manor, and without any particular malice or spite, I had nothing but time to kill.


I stood still and silent in the dark kitchen. I flicked the light switch on, off, and on again. I liked to flick the light switches.


I wandered around every old corridor and room, and I could recall their original forms, before all the light switches.


Everything began to gather dust. Like me, for I was nothing but a ghost.
