This time I was sure that I had not just imagined it. There was someone there and he was talking to me. I was standing in front of my bed and could see the body print of a second person right next to my body print. I screamed again, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

And then I felt a breeze pass me by. I turned to my desk and saw one of my pens move. It rolled off the desk just like that. Then I saw my writing program open on the laptop and the word "Hi🙋‍♂️" was written.

I could not believe it. I had only one thing on my mind. Get out of here! So I ran to my room door and outside into the living room. Suddenly everything started to go crazy. The TV went on and off. The phone rang. The stereo turned on and switched back and forth between stations. "Stop that crap!" I yelled.

Then there was silence and I ran into my bathroom. I hid in my shower and at some point wondered what the hell I was doing here? Shit, a ghost had followed me home from the mansion and I was hiding in my shower?

I slowly got out of my shower and stood in front of my mirror. I said, "Show yourself to me. Just like you did at the mansion." And at first nothing happened. But then the air behind me flickered and I could see him in my reflection a moment later. "Oh shit it's really true! You're a ghost and you followed me!"

I watched as he slowly stroked my head. I felt a slight breeze of it on my head. Then he smiled and whispered, "You don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not evil."

But I was scared. A fucking fear, in fact. Tears were running down my cheeks. I was shaking all over and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Because I want to be with you."

"But why? What have I done to you?"

"You haven't done anything to me. I just want to be with you."

"But there must be a reason for that."

"Does there have to be?"

"Yes."

"All right. I like you."

"Yeah right. Is that why you're haunting me or what?"

"No. I just like you. You, well, you look awesome and I like you a lot."

"Oh wow. But just because someone looks awesome and you like them, you can't go after them. Imagine if I did that to you just because you're..."

"Because I'm cute?"

"Well um, well you are kind of cute looking and kind of handsome at the same time. But it doesn't really matter."

"So you think I'm cute."

"Well, it doesn't matter. You're a ghost. And ghosts aren't supposed to stay among the living, they're supposed to ascend to heaven or descend to hell."

"And if I can't?"

"Then you should find out why that is."

"How do I do that?"

"How should I know?"

"Well, you're smart. You could find out for me."

"I don't know how."

"Too bad. So what do I do now?"

"You should go back to where you came from. You can't stay here, anyway."

"But I want to stay with you. I feel comfortable with you."

"You are dead! How can you still feel anything?"

"I don't know. It simply happens that way."

"Can't you just go back to the mansion?"

"No."
