THE INNOCENT

The Ghost

"Finally," I heard a voice say. I turned around, and the same ghost was right there. "I am Niko. I was sent here by your brother, Soren."

My heart dropped as I heard him say Soren's name.

"No. It isn't possible," I said, "Why would Soren send a ghost to get me to kill myself?"

"Listen, Micah, Soren sent me here not to get you to kill yourself, but to warn you." He looked at me in a sincere way, "Don't be sad. Be happy. Don't feel sorrow in your brother's death. He Loves you, and he misses you. He doesn't want you to make the same mistake he did."

I felt so terrified, I didn't know what to say. I mean, it isn't everyday that a sprirt comes to you and sends you a message from your deceased brother.

Niko started floating to my right, "You are lucky to still have your life. You are meant for much more than being a depressed teenager," he says, "You are meant for much more."

"No," I said, "You're wrong. I am dead, see? My body is right below me, smashed into what looks like something that ran under a moving car." I was very infuriated.

"Oh, silly me," he said, "I can fix that up." He then waved his hands into the air and my body was whole again.

Before I got a chance to speak, he left. The world was literally tearing apart, and before I knew it, I was in a hospital bed.
