Spell… H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N 2024 – Day 27
A ghost visits his former business partner.
Ten Years Later
“Why do you look so scared, Jake?” It looks like you’ve seen a ghost!” Marcus said.
“I did… I mean, I’m seeing one right now!”Jake muttered, staring at the floating apparition in his private study. “How are you here? You died ten years ago.”
“No, I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did. We were in the car together. Sadly, I was the only one to make it out after the crash.”
“Ah… and how did that happen again? The details are a bit fuzzy.”
“We both fell asleep but you were at the wheel. You never stood a chance.”
“That’s funny because she told me I was drugged. You wanted me to die to take control of the company.”
“Who told you that?” Jake bit his lower lip.
“Marcia, your ex. Did you know she’s a medium now? And a good one too. It takes a lot of skill to bring someone back from The Great Beyond after so long. You betrayed me, Jake. Now, you must pay.”
Jake didn’t scream when the incorporeal manifestation of his former business partner entered his mouth to take hold of his body. While he was alive, Marcus had always been a pacifist who wouldn’t hurt a fly, but The Afterlife had no limits, and an angry spirit is always dangerous. For Jake’s sake, he’d better learn how to fly in the next ten seconds.
He didn’t.
