The Ghost With No Manners (Experiment #4)

The Ghost With No Manners

Laid out on the couch
Wasted
Waves in the corner of my eye
I turn to find a figure, beaming with multicolored light
Moving across my wall
I guess people don't knock anymore
Floating around like he pays the rent
Whatever
TV's on
Vision blurry
A loud crash
Turn to a shattered mug on the floor
Really bro? That's rude
I don't go to your dimension and start knocking things down
... or up ... or out ... or whatever directions your dimension has
You listening to me?
No response
I guess people don't say hello anymore
I jump as the bathroom door slams
Jesus! It's 2am. Keep it down
I don't know what to do with this guy
I'm dosing off
I feel the hairs on the back of my neck rise
Hearing an eerie whisper in my ear
"Everyone you know will someday die
Then they will be with me, and not with you"
...
You're a jerk.

Golf they said, how predictable. Not much of a sports guy, or a people person, but whatever let's golf.          They pull up in Roger's '99 Porsche Carrera. I thought he had sold that piece of junk. George gets out of the passenger seat and folds it down for me to get in. "How's it going, cocksucker?", he says, douchey as usual. I don't respond. I get in to find Roger's girl in the backseat, Rachel Feinstein. My heart starts pounding as I slide in next to her. My knee touches hers and I quickly jerk it away. She simply cracks a smile and says, "Hi". I die. I simply can&

The Fall Of Cornelia

The Fall Of Cornelia KINGDOM OF CORNELIA – DUSK Following a battle with the Red Dragon, the kingdom is in ruin, burned to ash. The four Warriors of Light are mourning the loss of their ally, Waldon the Master Black Wizard. The four warriors consist of Frederick the Knight, Fei the Monk, Lani the White Mage, and Waldon's younger brother, Riley the Black Mage. They are sitting amongst the embers of the flames recently extinguished by Blizzaga magic. Frederick breaks the silence. FREDERICK He gave his life to rescue ours … the last of his strength for a final meteor spell … and we left him behind. Silence. FEI It is what he wanted … his selfless actions, his love for others … for his brother … surpassed his love for himself. Fei looks over to Riley, who's back is turned to the group, and is far away in his thoughts. The ashes diminish slowly. The crackling embers seem to still be echoing screams of the fallen. Lani is in tear
