I'm famous, that's what they tell me. It follows me through the corridors at school, people whisper. Too afraid to speak to me, because well because I'm famous. What they don't know, I would much rather have them back than be famous.

I`m Caz Holtzmann, you may have heard of me. My mother was Jillian Holtzmann, the famous Ghostbusters engineer. My aunties were Erin Gilbert, Patty Tolan, and Abby Yates. They died when I was four. I've been famously alone since then. I was a test tube baby, I don't know who the biological donor was- Mom got it off the internet. I don't mind, my faded memories hold her as the best mother in the world, the only person I needed. When Mom fell pregnant with me the Ghostbusters trained up a new generation of Busters, that way when I came along they weren't out risking their lives on a day to day basis. However, that night, one of the new Ghostbusters rang up my Aunty Abby and told her about the breach in the barrier. For the first time in four years, the original busters jumped into their overalls and joined their predecessors. I remembered my Mom coming in to see me, she told me the sitter was downstairs and we could go out for breakfast in the morning. I haven't had breakfast since.

I`m sixteen, my mother and her colleagues sacrificed themselves for the world, for me. They closed the barrier and it hasn't opened since. Only they closed it and remained beyond it.

I take after my mother in every respect, I am going to major in physics. I have crazy blonde hair; I even wear her tinted goggles on my head. She left them on my bedside table the night she left. I share her awkward flare, her love of women, and her big heart.

...

This morning was like any other morning, I got out of bed, got dressed and went downstairs. I refused breakfast from James, the guy who runs the children home. He sighed and passed me my lunch.

The children home is okay I guess, my Mom made sure to build a failsafe for me. The mayor sorted everything out when she passed. Somewhere to live, money, and insurance. I jumped on the bus, I met Sarah. Sarah is my best friend, and currently, I am trying to pursue her. It's going well according to schedule. Sarah is also into science, for years now we have been trying to work out a way to open the barrier and get them out...if they're still there, open the barrier without letting New York become overrun with ghosts.

I hear you ask how far we've gotten.

I'll tell you the answer,

So far?

Nowhere.
