-Can you keep a secret?
I sighed. It's not my forte.
But I did not want to lose Amy's trust. So I nodded.
- I see spirits.
- Really?
- I saw one going up to my son's room last night.
- A spirit? It could have been anyone. How do you know it's a spirit?
- No one was there in the house. And would you believe, he woke up with fever.
Amy looked troubled.
- Stay with us tonight. I feel scared.
I had errands to run. And there was a coffee meet with a friend. But I could not say no to her.
When I walked into Amy's house it seemed like any other house. Double storied, normal, not where you would find spirits lurking. We had dinner and I decided to use the living room as I wanted to read. Amy's son seemed better today and chatted a bit.
I was amid a mystery. A soldier lost in battle, presumed dead by his family. The son is in distress, being bullied by his friends, cornered, and suddenly appears the father. In uniform.
I feel strange.
The story, Amy's spirit, an alien house and someone is watching me. I turrn around. I see a silhouette. Just there. Just standing.
And then it moves and I feel it's breath on me. And the hands slowly came on me with a pillow!!!!
Am I dead? I let out a muffled scream.
- Hey you need a pillow! Look how you are sleeping!
There was Amy with a pillow!
- Amy? My goodness, I almost saw the spirit!
Amy looked strange!
- Would you believe? I saw it come to the room, I thought it was you, and then I saw you sleeping without the pillow!
- Can you keep a secret?
