The little girl laughed as her father swung her around and around. She was in her pure white night shift, trimmed with lace, all ready for bedtime. But first, there was a special ritual to enact. "All right, my sweet one. What shall the story be tonight?" He laid her gently on her mattress. "Papa!" the child laughed as she snuggled down under her handmade quilt, "You ask me the same thing every night!" He laughed as well, tucking her floppy rag doll in beside her. Stroking her cheek gently with one finger, he said, "And every night you give the same answer. But remind your old father once again: what story do you want to hear tonight?" "Oh, Papa, don't be so silly. You know what story! The story. The best story in the world." At this, her father knew his cue to give in. "Very well, my daughter. But are you certain you will be awake for the end? It's already quite late, and your Mama will…" "Papa!" He laughed again, and she settled down at the deep, soothing sound of his voice as he began.

Four years ago, two girls from Hopewell Orphanage disappeared into the woods. Only one came back. Crystal and Mary were inseparable - two 10-year-olds with scraped knees, whispered dreams, and matching scars only they could see. Then, one ordinary afternoon in their secret forest, Mary vanished. No clues. No sound. Just gone. Now 14, Crystal still visits the forest. Every day. Every hour she can. Not because she's clinging to hope - but because she sees Mary. Hears her. Talks to her. Laughs with her. But everyone else? They think Mary's been dead for years. They say Crystal's delusional. Broken. Grieving too hard for too long. But she remembers Mary's freckles. Her laugh. The way her hoodie flapped behind her like wings when she ran. And she made a promise. "If I ever disappeared... would you come find me?" "Of course I would." Now, even the adults are starting to see the impossible. But something in the forest wants to keep Mary - and the longer Crystal stays, the more she wonders if holding on might cost her everything else. In a story where grief wears a smile and ghosts feel warm to the touch, Ghost of Mary is a haunting, heart-wrenching tale about love, loss, and the one friend we can never let go of - even when the world begs us to.
