Chapter 1
"Eek! What is that in the photo?!" a girl shriek at a photo she just took of herself and her friends. I giggled at them as they debated on it.
"Another good prank" I said as I walked away finishing my giggling fit heading to the park. I love walking about in this town; it's so lively with so many people and families going on with their lives.
"Man~ I wish I could play with someone~" I said as I found a quite bench with a sweet little old woman under a cool shady tree. I went over to seat next to her as we watch some kids playing around. I'm guessing some of them might be her grand kids.
"Sigh~ what a lovely day" the older women sighed to herself in a sense of peace.
"Yeah… I always love days like this, but I think I liked rainy days more. but this is good every once in awhile, right?"
The woman was silence still looking at the kids, especially one that was playing on her own.
"Is she your granddaughter?" I pointed to the girl "She's so adorable!… I wonder what my grand kids would be like. Hehe I bet they would have made great friends!" I smiled to the woman who still has yet to response.
"Than again… it would be impossible for me now with me being-"
"Maggie!" she looked up towards my direction and smiled widely as a man voice called out. I turn to see an older man about her age coming over to her. I smiled and wave to him too, as he stood next to what I think is his wife… and sat right on top of me.
"Whoops not again… sigh well it can't be helped…" I said as I stood up to leave the long time love birds alone "after all I've been dead for a very~ long time…"
I died some time ago, I kind of stopped counting after a decade passed and just went on by, day by day. My past is a bit of a mystery. All I been told after I died, was that I'm to *with dramatic accent*'roam the earth till I proven myself' or something like that, but after sooooo looooong I don't know what I'm suppose to do! No one can see or hear me and I've been stuck here for so long with no clue to HOW to "prove myself" and… it gets so very lonely in this sea of people.
But I haven't let that get me down and I'm not about to let it start. Ever since I began my lif- excuse me, my 'after' life as a ghost I've been having nothing but a fun time. Luckily the part that ghost have to haunt a spooky houses or a run down hospitals or school is not really true, well at least for most of us. I got to walk and play around with the inhabitants of the city. It's fun to prank and tease kids with my ghostly powers, follow and watch some humans lives and see how their strangle and love lives are coming along (sometimes I like to give them a helping hand). But most of all I love to visit a new place every day, even though I'm not technically stuck in a specific place, I can't leave the city. It's not like I can't leave, I could leave anytime I want to, but something is urging- pulling me back to this place. In the end I don't know if I'm meant to be here, if it's for a reason, or whatever it may be, the city is always changing so I don't ever get bored that fast.
But one thing I do want to say, I may not remember a thing about my human life, but I have the strongest feeling that I loved riding trains. Any day when I have nothing to do and I just want to think or relax, I would ride trains.
Today was one of those days.
I got to the station and sat at my usual sit in the back and stared out the window. So many trees, houses, buildings and people go by and by as the day go along with it. It's like watching life go by without a care in the world with new places and people that got places to go and other people to see. I wonder how my life was like. Was it like this? Watching and hearing or making up stories about peoples lives as they pass by me.
I don't know…
As I was having that thought a new wave of people was boarding on and something caught me from the corner of my eye. I saw this very shy looking guy with glasses standing in the center holding to the ceilings railings. He looks pretty normal except for his air defying curl, he has short wavy shoulder length blond hair, wire rim glasses, lavender color eyes (he might be American, French maybe? I don't know it's kind of hard to tell.) He was also wearing a gray business suit with a purple tie; he might be heading or coming back from work. I can't follow time anymore since I don't really need sleep.
The poor guy, he was getting bumped around and squish by the other passengers, and he seems to be saying something to them but I can't hear him from where I'm sitting. But something about him is drawing me to him and I don't know why, he don't seem all that special to me and I seen people and thing much weirder than him too. But when he got off at a station I decide to follow him for the day, maybe for shits and giggles and beside I'm curious about this shy looking guy.
After a while gone by, as expected he was a normal dude. He went to work, did shopping, and gone to a restaurant and ate by himself. To be honest he got to be the most normal boring salary man (at least that's what I think his job is) that I ever met, but I can't help wanting to follow him; though he seems like he was nervous about something. 'Is it me? I should keep my distance, ha it's not like he can see or hear me anyways'. I feel like there's more to him than what meets the eye and I want to find out!
So as the sun was and has gone down for the night. I follow this guy down the street still having my distance from him so he wouldn't sense me on the way back to his house. But as the streets light were coming on and everyone has already gone back to their homes, he was still shaky and nervous about something.
Then suddenly he stopped. I wonder what's wrong?
We stood there for a minute in complete silence, then he turn and walk right up to me calm but every upset and angry looking.
"Excuse me! C-can you stop it, please! You've been following me all day! It's creeping me out" He yelled in a whispery voice.
I stood there before him, dumbfounded as he stares down at me. I turn to look behind me and then to my sides, to see no one. In fact, we were the only one in these empty streets, it kind of scared me (and I'm a ghost!) Then I face back at him and I pointed at myself.
"Wait? Are you talking to me?"
"Yes!" he said getting a little puffy. Aww he looks cute when he's mad.
"Y-you can see me?"
"Yes! I may wear glasses, but I'm not blind, eh!" he said as he readjusts his specs.
OhmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYGOD~! He can hear me! He can see me! HE CAN SEE ME!
"OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL!" I exclaim with joy and excitement. "This is the first time somebody noticed me!" I said coming closer to the shy looking guy as he backs up getting a momentary blush.
"Are you ok, eh? Do you need help? Are you lost maybe?"
"Oh! I um… well- this is awkward. I don't know what to do?" I really don't know what to do! It's been years since I had to introduce myself to another but I never introduce myself to a human before, my first human at that! *fangirl shriek*
"Um… I guess I should introduce myself," he is the first person to ever notice me "I'm _" I knew there was more about him then I thought "and I'm a ghost" and now after so long of being alone "and I have just decided," I'm not going to let this opportunity slip by "I'm going to haunt you!" this is going to be more fun then I hoped for!
