Crying
July 30, 2012
Maddie cancelled her prescribed ghost hunting patrol when she heard someone crying. She never could ignore someone crying.
Following it to a bench further in the park, Maddie found a figure hunched over, unable to stop their tears. She supposed the park at night was a good time to get things off your chest, but not like this… not alone…
She sat down next to the teenager, who stiffened, but otherwise didn't move.
"What's wrong?"
After a minute, "I'm dead," he choked, lifting his head to reveal the luminous green eyes of the ghost she had been hunting for years.
Ah, now you have to wonder how she'd react to that...
