Matt was a pretty nice ghost. He usually did kind little things to people randomly through the day. It bugged him when he saw poltergeists harming pleasant families. Of course, he never went so out of his way to help someone that they were alerted of his presence. Some spirits could move objects easily, and some could appear easily. Matt was the former. He supposed that he might freak people out anyways if they saw him, what with his bullet wounds. Other than the gaping holes of bloody flesh, he looked like a normal nerdy dude in his heyday. When he was alive he absolutely loved video games, and even now he snuck into gaming stores to play a few rounds.
Right now he was strolling through a Best Buy. The technology store was one of his daily haunts. Barely anyone was there, so he headed to his favorite section. It sucked that only the stupid games were on display to play. He sighed and reached for an Xbox controller. No one was around him, and if the cameras caught a floating game controller he would just move to a different store. Just as he was about to press play, he heard footsteps. Matt quickly put the controller back, and flinched when it clinked against the display. A loud crunch echoed across the aisle. The strange noise made Matt curious, and he drifted over.
There was a boy looking at cameras. He was one of the oddest looking humans Matt had seen. The boy was wearing lots of leather and a rosary, and had a long, messy, blonde bob. A scar ran down his face, and large sunglasses covered his eyes. He paused from looking at a camera's features to take a bite of a chocolate bar. The sound disturbed the quiet. Matt came closer to look at the boy's expression. For a second, they made eye contact. This startled him enough to float behind a bin.
He peeked his head out. The boy whispered, "That was weird," before setting the camera down. Matt felt a wave of relief wash over him. As the boy moved on to a different aisle, Matt followed. He was intrigued. Obviously the boy had somehow seen him, even if only for a millisecond, and Matt normally had to concentrate really hard for that stuff to happen. The boy stopped by a shelf. The shelf held computer boxes, and there was an especially large one above the boy's head.
Matt watched as the boy read the label. An employee pulling a cart pulled it to a stop, then left. The cart started rolling a bit. It was probably going to crash into something. That something happened to be the shelf. It sent a shockwave through the shelf, and that was what made the computer box rock. Matt's eyes widened as the box fell right over the boy's head. He caught it.
The boy stared in wonder as the box floated over his head. "I have superpowers," he whispered. The his face broke out in the biggest smile Matt had ever seen.
