Being a Ghost Story of Christmas
(With apologies to Charles Dickens)

Toni was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. He had killed her himself, although, having been assassinated himself shortly thereafter, there was no way to know if her body had been properly disposed of. 
Still, Toni was dead as a doornail. This must be perfectly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story that I will now relate.

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.

When Katie visits the graveyard on Christmas Eve to visit her twin brother's grave, she meets a mysterious, yet handsome guy named Ezra. At first, she is startled, but when he tells her that he is homeless, she invites him to come spend Christmas day with her. No one deserves to be alone on Christmas. They begin to drive back to Katie's house when suddenly, the car hits a patch of ice and spins out of control. Although Katie begins to notice supernatural and strange things about him, Ezra helps her through a difficult time after the accident, as she is still processing her brother's sudden death. Soon, they begin to piece together the details of Ezra's death and realize that there is something that they should be doing. There is a purpose to why they have crossed paths. Will Katie be able to help Ezra find justice though, and could there possibly be a way to bring him back?
