She seems to be trapped in a world of creatures made from thick mist

Features forever sifting

Cured to never settle

She could see them all, could touch them and interact with them

But the never consciously did the same with her

Until the week after the death of her mother

She noticed a wisp, that's what she adapted to calling them, following her

She reached out and touched it, her solid fingers and their smoke ones merged, and she got a crash course in their life

It burned bright, and she caught the glimpse of a young little girl before it rose into the sky

That was the straw that broke the camels back

Constantly, she was cornered by wisps wanting to be set free

Wanting to move on from whatever was holding them to the waking world

What was she to do when one of them she let pass on held onto disturbing memories

Horrible things people had done

Tasking her with figuring out who killed her and why

Whilst unceremoniously adopting the task, she became friends with the next-door neighbors cat

Mr. Fluffy-kins

Yes, he was spoiled like their own child

Together with her stange ability and his keen sense for untrustworthy people, they work to slove a murder gone cold

As they come closer to the truth, people start disappearing, death threat carved into her front door

'It always with you
Watching, waiting
You can't escape this
Stop looking or else'

But let's be honest, who EVER read the warning labels first??

I'm interested to see where this thriller idea might go.

I've always had a soft spot for quirky murder mysteries, so I hope I can do this justice if I try it
