KIMBERLY

Being a ghost is beyond lonely. I still can’t sleep. Although my spirit apparently doesn’t need to, I long to close my eyes and fall into a deep slumber.

The halls and grounds are always empty at night except for Hank, the feral cats, and stray dogs that like to hang around.

I hope Ash talks to Josh. I want to leave this place, even though I am terrified of where I will go. What if I don’t go to a better place and just fade away? Perhaps that’d be better than this hollow existence. However, I was somewhere before I got pulled back into this world, but where? And how do I get back there?

I touch the books in the library. I never cared much for books until Josh. It might be interesting to see what has happened to the world in the last thirty years. It sure didn’t end like my pastor always preached it would.

Is Pastor John still around? I pinch my lips together. Now that I’m dead, it might be nice to talk with him and ask him how I transcend.

The room shakes, the lights flicker, and chills travel up my spine like spiders on a deadly mission. The windows break open and glass tears through the once-quiet library. A strange odor fills the air like rotten flesh.

I press myself against the wall. Everything screams inside me to flee, but I can’t move.

Green gas creeps inside the room, cats nearby hiss and howl, and dogs bark wildly. What is going on?

A deep piercing laughter consumes the room. Books crash onto the floor in piles. The light fixtures explode causing sparks and glass to fly in the air.

“Kimberly, I’m coming for you. My powers are getting stronger, soon I’ll break the bonds that tie me to the old graveyard.”

I gasp. I know that voice, even after thirty years. Chris Young. His evil image emerges from the green gas creating a frightening looming spirit.

I try to scream but nothing comes out. This cannot be happening. I can’t be his forever.

His laughter consumes the library.

“You don’t look excited to see me,” he spats out. “Are you still in love with Josh? How pathetic are you? Don’t you realize you ruined our lives together? You and that—”

“Please leave him out of this,” I beg.

He rubs his jaw causing his image to blur. “But darling, I can’t. He’s going to die, I promise you. Not a quick death, but a long and horrifying one.” He shakes a green finger at me. “This is all your fault.”

I swallow hard. His hatred is devouring me. I’m drifting closer to him.

“We should have been King and Queen,” he roars. “You made a fool out of me. I loved you.”

“We would have died that night if we went to prom, don’t you see?” I plea with him.

His eyes scrunch together, causing them to blur into his nose. His mouth is a frightening scowl. “Who do you think started the fire? If we couldn’t have our special night, then no one would.
