Halloween Curse

This is a little fun thing that I wanted to add it was a warm up for my English class and there's slot of dialogue and so yeah I thought it would be fun to see what you guys think about it.  Enjoy!

It was a warm all hallows eve in the year 2125 where Alexander Grimm-a young man who traveled through time and space, but was also the Doctors long distance cousin who left their home planet before it was blown up. Alexander exited his spaceship and said "Ah! It's always nice to be back in the year 2125."

He started to walk up the hill to get a better idea of where he landed, and to see if he could find anyone to talk to. After a minute or two he saw something in the distance and decided to go take a closer look.

As he got closer he started to see that it was a women he saw on top of to hill.  As he approached her she stared to speak. "Hello,  how art thou ye' werry traveler?"

At first Alexander was confused as to why she was speaking like that, but as he took a closer look he noticed that she was transparent, and he figured that she was a ghost. He then replied "Uh, good... How about you?"

The un-named ghost looked confused as she responded with "What doth thou meanest?"

Alexander looked shocked. Most ghost he knew adapted to the language spoken around them, but she didn't. But he responded with a clearer answer "I mean how are you doing?"

The ghost smiled before she responded with "Ah,  in that case I haventh a clue for I have passeth into the middle veil."

Alexander blinked thing to decide what she just said.  After a minute or two he said "Okay, well if your dead why are you still here?"

The still un-named ghost said the following statement sadly "I shan't gain eternal rest until I am avenged."

"Well" Alexander said "what do you need to be avenged?"

The ghost quickly responded. "To avenge me ye must first find my body and lay me to rest correctly. Then thou must find my killer and bring him to justice."

Alexander blinked and gaped like a fish for a while before responding. "Right... Because that's easy."

The ghost acted like she didn't hear him as she said "Do you accept thine quest?"

Alexander chuckled nervously before answering. "Uh, sure but why do I feel like I just singed my death warrant?"

The ghost smiled er rather smirked as she said "For thou mightest die in the process."

Alexander was pissed to say the least. And anyone with in a 5 mile radius cod hear him as he all but yelled "And you tell me this now?! Is there anything else I should know before I go try not to die so you can?!"

The ghost nodded. Alexander glared at her as she spoke. "Yes there are things that thou should know if this is something thou truly wishes to do.  First my name is Ophelia. Secondly I am Shakespeare's younger sister.  Finally ye must complete this quest before the second full moon of the next month. Enjoy thous quest!"

After she said the final word she slowly turned into vapor with a condescending smile on her face.

Alexander was beyond pissed.  He was outraged. First that damn ghost didn't tell him all the the facts and second she ruined his vacation! After at least two full minutes of glaring at the spot she was floating before yelling to the air.  "Oh! I knew I should of never came here tonight! I always have to get pulled into something! First it was a mystical war,  then it was dimension hoping to kill some stupid fucking shadows! Now I have to help some crazy ghost who wants me to go to sleep before the end of November! Plus I don't even know who killed her!"

After taking a breath Alexander starts walking back toward his spaceship, and just as he was about to close the door he yells "That's it! It's decided! Halloween cursed! And it's always out fucking get me killed!"

After that he slammed the door of his ship closed as he went to find this exact spot only thousands of years earlier.
