Determined to find out about the ghostly figure she saw the
two previous nights, Mary grabbed her bedroom lamp and placed it on the dresser
in the closet. She then took the inflatable mattress in the closet, blew it up,
covered it with a sheet, and then got her blanket.
Keeping the closet door open, Mary turned off the light and
fell asleep with Suzy at her feet, but this night didn’t wake at three o’clock came.
When her ghostly figure made its appearance this night, it
floated around Mary’s bedroom three times as usual and not seeing her it drifted
inside the closet and found her sleeping on the mattress there; it paused for a
moment and sat down on a nearby chair.
After a few minutes of sitting there, it got up and floated
over to Mary. Bowing down, it kissed her on the forehead, and like Sleeping
Beauty, Mary woke from her sleep.
The moment she did, Mary saw the spirit disappear through
the wall behind the dresser.
This is weird. Did that ghost kiss me? It definitely felt like a kiss, but how could
I feel a kiss from someone who is not here?
That was an unexpected twist--what a charming specter! Did you really post this at 3:30 A.M.?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next installment!
I know I had gone to bed around 1 AM. It must be connected to the zones, because I'd signed on to my computer around 6:15 AM (ET)
DeleteVery romantic.
