Uninvited Guest

So when I sat down to craft this tale, instead of focusing on their more mundane dates, I focused on her introduction to his unique lifestyle and abilities. While I’m unable to fully put myself into Lucas’ situation, I’ve experienced multiple uncomfortable situations. With so many choices available, I plucked a handful of common threads from my life and wove them together, creating a perfect backdrop for this ghost story.

Come, sit down and allow me to give you a mini-escape and kindle your imagination.
