My name is Edward, actually it was. Now, as I can't be seen or heard I can't be called because I am dead. Former human and currently living a ghost 'life'. Okay, you must be wondering how I am able to write my story? Well, thanks to web novel, an amazing app, even on the other side.
So, let me start with telling about my routine. First of all I 'live' in a pretty big of a house with a human family, Oh! I love them. It's a couple, Adrian and Marie, living with the scary mother-in-law, Mrs Geller. Scary to the extent that even I am afraid of her. I recall an incident when she was very rude to me. So, It was chilly night, time around Christmas and I was having a cozy time under the blanket when she came from nowhere and snatched my blanket off. Not just that, she started screaming like crazies while I was shivering with cold. I must say she doesn't have an ounce of 'humanity' left.
But the couple is really sweet, I especially like Marie. We even share the taste for TV shows, those with a lot of drama. There are times when Adrian turns on soccer which drives me and Marie crazy but because I am always on her side, I change the channel with my powers that I am getting good at but Oh! my god, they are so loud when they scream that I am going deaf.
After I am done watching T.V, I see no one around, they are all asleep by this time. Marie is just too careless, she leaves the lights on everywhere and Mrs Geller nags her alot. Before she sees it and gets mad at Marie again, I make sure to turn them off. Although I try to, but because I am still not there with my powers yet, they turn on back on their own. But I don't give up until I manage to turn them off, it kinda looks like they flickering. Going off and on, off and on... it's dark, it's bright and there I hear Adrian's screaming. Jesus!
So, yeah... then, in the early morning, I often find Marie arguing with Mrs Geller. Adrian, that coward sneaks out, I have to step in to make them stop. They would fight over trifles such as bland soup. Marie says that she made it bland because of Mrs Geller's high blood pressure and on other hand, Mrs Geller says that she just can't cook and blames it on her disease. I scratch my head as to why are they so stupid? I mean, wouldn't it be okay if they just add a pinch of extra salt? So, this time too I have to step in and pour some salt in her soup. I think I might have poured more than what was needed because of their unexpected... reactions, you know they screamed and left. I mean come on! At least taste it.
You know what ghosts never try to scare people off. Just our mere existence and anything we do scares the hell out of them. I mean what if you hear someone wail out of nowhere? Do you have to freak out? Can't you just think that a ghost just had a break up or something?
Then, Adrian comes back and it's almost time for my T.V show. He has given up on T.V, he just sits on one end of the couch calm and quiet. But that's the part I hate the most, there he went again taking a cigarette out and starts smoking. I feel like choking. Smoke is what I hate the most. I feel like dying whenever there's smoke. Sometimes I even get carried away with it. Oh! No! Help me. This smoke takes me out through the chimney. I am out again. Now I will have to find my way in there again. Bye! Till the next time.
That Darn ciggerate! You know that it's injurious to health right? (Not just your health)
