Her Ghost

Written April 2007, pre deletion day. This piece is still very close to my heart.

Her Ghost. A story by Manoosh Crook

There is a girl that hides in my house; I know she is there because I can see her, feel her, hear her.  The strangest thing is that I am the only one. 

 

Her face is beautiful but her eyes, her eyes they show so much fear that I am scared too look at them for more than a second.  Her cheeks glisten in the light but her smile holds firm.  I want to ask her what her eyes give away, but I do not, I fear what I will hear.

 

Some say for a lost soul to move on all they require is someone to listen to them, am I brave enough? I am unsure. I wish there was another that could listen to her; I would give anything to help her find peace, I pray for mercy.

This is absolutely beautiful. On all levels. Isn't it amazing when someone far away, around the world reaches into their own heart and pulls out the words that are a reflection of your own hauntings? I'm glad that these words were not lost.

I took your advice, reading "Restless", "The Tree", and "Her Ghost". I'm glad I did as I enjoyed them all. I like this story, Her Ghost. The girl, waiting for someone to listen... I came to the end wanting more. Well done.

I love this, there is much left to discuss and tell of the little Ghost Girl with Haunted Eyes... and of course, she is a child, I with I could take her and make it all better. I know you do too.

Iagree, I would like to see this expanded upon. I think this is the beginning of something really interesting. Hope you decide to go with it.

Thanks for sharing.

Reading it a second time after your comment of course it
all slots perfectly into place and what a concept........I hope
you extend it.........I would love to see where it is going.

What an unusual story..........straight away conjuring an image of
a frightened child and the adult needing to accept she may
be the one to set this childs spirit free..........
