RE: The InkWell Fiction Challenge || The Ghost In The Rain

in The Ink Well5 years ago

What a great story! I love this! Full of surprises. This is fab:
I never had a boy in my room while I was alive. I never had a boyfriend either and was 22 when I died. Todd had a well chiseled face and arms any girl would love to have around her. I follow him to the bathroom and watched as he had a shower. I'm going to be looking forward to shower time.
#LOL
Love his reaction, then hers:

"You're Jessie? The Jessie? Haunted house Jessie?". Well, I didn't know I had gained a title around here.

Great line: I had never known a love like this living and unliving and I was ready to protect it.

In terms of world-building, this could use a little explanation (how does a ghost drink tea or kiss the living), but willing suspension of disbelief allows us to have fun, so I'm not complaining.

This too (it could be epic as an opening line, but the one you have is cool)

I wish I knew how I died but I don't. It's always been a blur...

The ending! #Love it! Sad, maybe, or not sad.

Sipping tea, remembering her mom and sisters, scaring off new residents of the home - all that was sad, yet you maintain a tone that is not dark and miserable, but quirky and funny. That is not easy. #Bravo!

I'm wondering how I missed this comment, I only just saw it on InkWell's showcase.

Thank you for your comment, I love that you love the story 😊

From the start, I wanted her to be a fun ghost,not the traditional scary one, that's how I kept the funny, quirky tone. And for the drinking tea and kissing part, I wouldn't know, I've never been a ghost 😄😄

Thanks for stopping by @carolkean

You're welcome - thank you for an entertaining story!
#Busted - poor ghost!
