Grayson had waken up for christmas dinner, he got ready with his ripped Jean's, and black long sleeve, his piercings and hair. When he finished his morning procedure he went downstairs to his mom, who was making potato salad for the dinner.
He looked at his mom speaking to her. "Good morning mom" his mother doesnt look away from the salad, replying back to her son. "Good morning Grayson." She finally looked up finally. And looked down before saying "your grandfather's not going to like your piercings." He scoffed looking away. "I dont care what he thinks. He doesnt agree with anything I do anyway." His mother chuckled "mmhm, well, come put the mayo and mustard in the potato salad. Only a drop of mustard." He did as he was told silently, time passed slowly and they got everything ready for dinner and headed down to his grandfather's. It took them about a half hour to get there and by then all of his family was there, chatting away at what their plans were for the holidays, Grayson entered the house and instantly did what he always did. He went to the backroom of the house to charge his phone and stay away from his family.
He looked away from his phone and realized the window was broken open . He took the time to think if he should leave. Within a minute he decided to leave and go visit his grandfather's neighbor, the cemetary. He went to the first grave he could think of, his grandmother's. He sat down next to his grandmother's grave and started talking to her, not expecting a response. "Hey grandma" ... "sorry it's been a while" ... " they stopped me coming up here" ... "they thought I was trying to bring you back from the dead" ... "I'm not Frankenstein" ... " I hate to say this, but he found someone new.." ... grayson kept taling still not hearing a response. He was always jumpy at the cemetary so when he heard a bark and a chuckle, he freaked out, looking all around, looking behind stones, when he checked his grandmother's, there was a small dog, and a ghost.
The ghost was his grandmother but the dog, was alive. A small pup. "Grandma? Is that you?" He questioned "yes it's me Gray" the dogs barks matched up with his grandmothers words' almost Morse Code. "This dog is my has my heart, soul and mind. She speaks in Morse code with her bark and growl. And I want you to have her. I know you know Morse code, it's how we used to speak at family dinners. So this is how I've decided to speak to you." He didnt know how to reply. He didnt know what he was hearing, or seeing. "Shes for me!? I dont even know how to take care of myself! Let alone a dog!" His grandmother stopped him before he could go on. "Grayson, yes, shes for you. I'm sure you'll manage. And if you feel you cant, ill- shell guide you if your stuck, okay?" She smiled warmly when saying that. "Okay... I'll try my best grandma..." he said. His grandma spoke up seeing how long he was with her. "You should get back to them, they're probably worried sick. You've been here about 2 hours." He looked at her once more. "Okay. I guess your right. Bye grandma..." "bye honey" he picked up the dog and carried her home with him, into the window and into the house.
