The Ghost Kid

 


The Ghost Kid


By Craig Wilson


When the smoke clears, I find myself in a charity shop.

As usual, I have no recollection of leaving my house.

I'm sorting through donations upstairs in the shop.

A young child is playing with the toys in a tiny box.

I direct the child to return downstairs to their parent.

The child laughs and they vanish before my eyes.

I dash downstairs to inform my boss of the incident.

My boss does not believe in ghosts. I feel so scared.

My phone alarm goes off, and I quickly awaken in bed.


The End
