Prologue:

Flashback

My brother, David and I were playing checkers at our kitchen table, in our dirt kitchen, in our dirt house section. We lived under The Los Angeles Cemetery, as half spirits.

Half-spirits are half ghost, half human; if you breed a half-spirit with a half-spirits you also get a half-spirit. If you breed a half-spirit with a human you get a human. That’s why my mom and dad don’t approve of humans. David told me a secret once; he snuck out every night to observe the human world.

“Alice, it’s your turn.” He said nodding to the checkers board. I moved my my pieces and stole my brother’s last piece, which means I won.

“ALICE CAROLYN ASHGREEN!” He yelled, knocking the checkers board off the table. “YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE MIGHTY DAVID ASHREEN!”

“What’s wrong?!” My mom and Dad came worried into the kitchen.

“Mother, Father, your daughter has just defeated your son at a long and hard game of checkers!” David declared

I loved those days of my early life, where we were one happy family.

I’m sitting beside the opening to the kitchen, eavesdropping on my parents and brother’s conversation. They’re fighting again; I wish they’d stop.

“MOM I’M 18 YOU CAN’T CONTROL ME ANYMORE!” I hear my brother yell. My parents keep telling him that if he turns human he’ll die young and won’t be happy and David keeps yelling the same response.

I try to block it out, to pretend I’m not actually in that situation, that my big brother won’t leave me here and run off into the human world. But it’s not like I can change the past.
