Ghost: Hello and welcome to my humble abode. Is there anything I can help you with?
Mother: This place sure is shabby. It’s going to need a lot of work.
Ghost: That’s a bit obtuse, don’t you think? I’ve done my best with it.
Daughter: I’m scared.
Mother: It will
feel just like home once we renovate.
Ghost: It already
feels like home you shortsighted twit!
Mother: Do you want ice cream? I bought some groceries last time I was here.
Daughter: Okay.
Ghost: I’ll take a mint gelato.
Mother: Here you go, Karen.
Ghost: Why are you leaving? Hey, you forgot the gelato! If you take one more step I swear… we won’t
be BFF’s anymore!
Mother: Karen, go upstairs. I’m going to do some work on these walls.
Daughter: Okay.
Mother: Now, if I just hack through this part…
Ghost: Why are you hacking apart my house!?
Mother: Hey, something pushed me. It must be evil!
Ghost: Yeah, you break into my house, don’t get me my
gelato, and I’m the evil one.
Mother: I’m a bit frightened now, but why not fondle some
of these personal objects?
Ghost: Hey, that’s my blue ribbon for the second best
squash! You’ll smudge it all up!
Mother: Oh my word, that ribbon was knocked right out of
my hand!
Daughter: I might as well go exploring by myself
now. That scary door surely can’t be
dangerous! I’ll just open it a bit…
Ghost: Hello, nice seeing you here. I’ve got the loveliest hat to match your blouse. I’ll go and get it for you.
Daughter: It’s breathing down my neck!
Ghost: There’s just no pleasing the living!
Daughter: Mom, let’s get out of here!
Mother: We’ve put a lot of money in this place, but the
minor inconveniences are simply too much!
Leave your things and run with me!
Ghost: I was just kidding. We can still be BFF’s!
Ha! I love it. There's nothing more fun than a good haunted house. Or better yet, a haunted house story. When I was about 4 years old, my 2 sisters and I went to see "The House on Haunted Hill" movie with Vincent Price and I've never been the same. Great ghost story. xo
ReplyDeleteYou made haunted sound hilarious. Cute even. Damn you are good. I am smiling to myself. Not the reaction you would expect after reading a haunted house story. :-)
ReplyDeleteMarion: Do either of your sisters blog too? I've been to soo many haunted houses. We also have a haunted theme park in Ohio. I want to go to that someday too.
ReplyDeleteZeba Zebra: Thank you :D I used to write a lot more sketches like this.
It was almost like a school yard argument over who should get the teeter totter. Petty ghost. Your time is up. Move on.
ReplyDeleteNice write. Had me smilin!
Ghost agrees. He wants to come live with Annie ;-)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Nooooo. I've had my share already!
ReplyDeleteGood piece of thoughts.
