Description
Did you ever wonder what is going on around you?
No I don't mean that, I mean about the things you can't see, sometimes!
Are you reading this late at night, with just the monitor for light?
Was that a creak behind you?
NO, don't look. Just relax.
Now you know there is Nothing behind you, so why give in to look?
Give in?
Oh give in to that fear, the unknown, the off chance that something just Might be there.
No of course not, after all we are grown ups and we don't fear the Dark, or do we?
How many times have you seen something just out of the corner of your eye? How many times have you seen this after the moon rises and the night swallows the light?
There is no reason to fear the dark.
When you sleep your eyes are shut and your "in the Dark."
You don't fear that.
Oh yeah you don't know what goes on around you while you sleep.
Does some one stand there and watch you for a while?
Maybe they just walk through your room to go to another room in another house that used to be on the site of your house.
Do you live in a "new" home, or do you live in a apartment that has had 20 different people living there before you?
Do you know the history of where you live?
Listen, was that a foot step?
Don't look, you don't want them to know, that you know they are here.
Did you hear that bump from out side.
Go outside and check on it! Maybe it's just kids, maybe it's not.
Ah it's just the neighbors dog, safe again.
Foot steps behind you?
Creaking's off to the left of you?
Don't fear the night for it is our friend.
The night covers you in a cloak of secrecy as well as the other!
Do you believe in Ghosts? Do you believe that Ghost's come out only at night?
Do you almost feel that hand on your shoulder? DON'T LOOK!!
Why do you feel so safe in the daylight?
Ghosts are still there, they do not need the night to roam.
Is there a chill in the air, or was it just a slight breeze on the back of your neck?
Did you lock all the doors and close all the windows?
You did? Good, but that stuff doesn't stop a ghost.
Wait, I just heard a noise again.
I want to look, but I can't. Damn, there it is again.
Now I'm not scared, just cautious you know.
Where was I? I'll have to edit the hell out of this one before I can post it.
Now I hear drops, like water hitting the floor, but not the same.
Ohhh That was a chill. Well it is getting colder out..
That noise again. I have to look, Oh CRAP..!!
Hi My name is Jack. Last name doesn't matter cause you never heard of me.
Boy did that guy run like hell. Hee Hee!
I've been watching him for 14 years now. Figured it was time I show myself.
I was reading over his shoulder and leaned a little too close , I sure scared the hell out of him.
He won't be coming back for a while so I'll carry on.
Lets see, Ok I was born in 1912 and died in 1947. Wasn't a long life but had a lot of fun.
Hee Hee. That guy is looking in the window. He just saw me typing. You should see his face..
Under taker would never get that look off.
Anyways I lived in Chi town and ran with the mob. I was killed in a shoot out on McCurdy St.
Now how I ended as a ghost I don't know and why I ended up 5 states over I sure the hell don't know.
I don't understand any of this. I know you Living people can't help.
There are some ground rules: I can only show myself when I gain enough Ethereal Plasma.
I can only move certain things, and only move in certain rooms..
Don't ask why, I don't know.
Being a ghost isn't too bad, but I'd sure like to try some of that Pizza, have a good cup of coffee and a smoke. I can smell but can't taste any thing.
I must be running low on plasma, he is coming back into the room.
Yep he just took off running again. Hee Hee
I guess seeing these keys getting pressed and no one there will send the best off in a rush.
Well I'm going to post this because that guy isn't coming back.
I just heard him start his truck up.
Oh well I'll be "seeing" some of you soon, but I won't say who or when, but it will be soon!!
Night Night Oooooooooooooo, Oooooooooooooooooo Hee, Hee.

Another 'masterpiece' thriller/chiller .... excellent .... P.S. .... I've been told that I'm in 'the dark' all the time! .... plus, out here in 'farm country', all 'alone', I 'hope' for an UFO 'visitor' or 'anything' other than a cow or pig! .... wink!
