Don’t Play Games with Ghosts

I do believe there are friendly ghosts in this world. In fact, I believe one lives in my home.

After getting out of the shower one day I noticed a game of hangman was drawn in the steam on my bathroom mirror. I checked and scoured the house for an intruder but there was none. I looked on in disbelief.

I wiped the mirror away and before my next shower I scoured the house, every nook and cranny, made sure all the doors were locked, and when I got out, yet another game of hangman was drawn onto the mirror. I wrote a letter off to the side, an ‘h.’ My next shower the first letter was filled in, an ‘h.’ I played until I eventually won with the word, “hello.”

Games like this went on for awhile and I always managed to win. Honestly, it was fun, I had a little ghost friend in my house.

One day, getting out of the shower, a new game appeared, the gallows were there with three blank spaced at the bottom. I guessed an ‘A,’ and on my next shower a head appeared. Next time I guessed an ‘R,’ a body appeared. I guessed and failed again, arms. In a last ditch effort I guessed an O. I awaited my next shower, and legs appeared. All the letters were filled in, “Bye.” I wiped the mirror away and the thing I saw behind me wasn’t the ghost of a child, but something twisted and sinister.

I ran and haven’t been home since, I don’t know what to do.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...

The Green Thing

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment. The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." The older lady said that she was right -- our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused fo...
