Welcome to the first of this series of Danny Phantom one-shots. I hope you injoy it. Also to simply get this out of the way: No matter how many times I watch the series, read the fanfictions and wish I did, I will never own Danny Phantom. Nor will I ever own any other mentioned matterial in the stories exept for my few OCs and the order of the words. However much that disapoints me...
The Term "Paper Town" is a fictitious entry to a map to prevent people stealing the work of mapmakers. This concept was very interesting to me, thus I wrote this.
If you have yet to read the book Paper Towns I suggest you so immediately before my man eating, book-worm of a friend has to track you down for missing out on some wonderful literature.
Paper Ghost
A Danny Phantom Fanfiction
Sharp, frost-bitten wind cut accost his already chilled flesh as he glided down the open country road. The ice glazed land yielded no passer-bys, making early mornings the prime time for an undisturbed flight. Mist-like rain flittered down from the darkening cloud cover. Still, despite the weather, all he could see was the road ahead of him; the stretch of land leading him away.
Eventually he would have to stop, he knew, but for now the bitter sweet feeling of leaving kept him moving forward. It's difficult to start a journey, knowing full well what you are leaving behind. But stopping is almost impossible once you start. Leaving the known behind is simply too good to return, no matter how much you want.
Slowing, he glanced at his map, blowing his snow white bangs out of his way to do so.
"There," He mumbled to himself, jamming his finger at the map, crumpling the glossy paper around the small blue dot on the map. Beatosu. No roads lead to his destination, so far from home, thus it was doubtful he would be found. Those that knew not what it was would have called it a ghost town. For why would any active town be so remote, so inaccessible? It was so much more than that, and so much less.
Beatosu was a simple bleep on the map and nothing more. A town planted by publishers as a copyright tool. The town didn't even exist. It was perfect for a by-gone, one-hit-wonder hero only remembered by scraps of newspaper in the dumpsters.
He chuckled to himself at the thought, "A paper town for a paper ghost."
