The Write Dream (Storage Ghosts) (8 page)

Grace
shielded her eyes as Marie glowed even brighter.

Then
she was gone.

Grace
sighed. She always felt sad when the ghosts disappeared, it was like losing a
friend.

She
shook her head, she’d have to learn to live with this if she was going to help
more ghosts.

Talking
of which.

Grace
went upstairs. The CCTV monitor was set up in the stock room, also known as the
room where Frankie was living. She soon worked out how to use it.

She
rewound to the action downstairs, to the part where Sharon was hit on the
cheek.

It
was Pearl. The old woman had a look of sheer delight on her wrinkly face as she
landed a slap on Sharon’s cheek.

Then,
as if she knew Grace would later be watching her, Pearl turned towards the
camera and gave her a double thumbs up before she disappeared.

Grace
laughed. She couldn’t wait for Pearl to show herself to her. The old woman had
looked out for her several times. A comforting feeling settled over Grace. It
was nice having someone looking out for her, even if it was a ghost with a taste
for violence.

A
note from the author

Just
like Frankie in this story I love watching storage auction programmes. I’ve
never been to one but I’d love to visit one of the big ones in America, I’m
sure I’d be useless at bidding though – I’d be too excited.

When
I watch the shows I always wonder where the items have come from, and who they
belonged to. I wondered what would happen if some of the items had ghosts
attached. I reached a point where I couldn’t stand it anymore and I knew I had
to write some stories down, I was inspired by the variety of items that have
been discovered in storage lockers.

I
hope you enjoyed this first story. If you did could you post a quick review?
