You cannot kill a ghost

I walk down the dark abandoned hallway

I feel like I am floating along

I see spiderwebs everywhere

They must be several years old

Mice run into their holes in the wall when the feel me

candles are the only light in the house

I grab a small torch off the wall

Suddenly it becomes a huge flame of fire all around me

The heat feels good

I want more

I keep walking

I turn to a door

Listen carefully

I hear nothing on the other side

I turn the knob slowly

Feet shuffle on the other side

I turn slower

Someone is gathering papers

I open the door

A gun is thrown into my face

I am told not to scream

The man gives me a weird face

I stare deep into his eyes

I then drop the torch

The man is frightened

He drops the gun

It goes off

I feel cold

The man is frantic

He paces the room

He mumbles he is sorry

He didn't mean it

I say I've heard it all before

The man asks what I mean

I start floating up towards the ceiling

I look at the man as I float away

His face is bursting with tears

As I continue to float I say calmly

Do not worry and do not be afraid

You did not hurt me this time

You cannot kill a ghost
