Ghosts

The muscles in my thigh constrict, and my heart pounds against my chest. I feel no pain, just something in my body that is uncomfortable. The woman pushes me with the remaining strength she had, and sprawls onto the floor. I trip on my heels, my ankle going in the wrong direction, and my body flops off the building.

My body is limp as I twist through the air. Falling is so fast you won't even realize you're dead.

I guess this is my death day.

My thigh begins to ache with every twitch, and I can't flip in the right position to land properly. I let out a ragged shriek, in pain and upset for being so weak. Everything is a blur, but I'm close to the wall.

If only I could reach for a window ledge.

I reach out, feeling the brick scrape my fingers raw, but I could barely feel it after slamming my head against concrete.

Rylee Wayne is a thief. She was known for her agility, intelligence and violence, and has been wanted for years.

Until she died.

To everyone, she was dead. But to herself and the others who were just like her, they were reborn. Reborn as ghosts to society.

They have secrets, secrets they have yet to discover. But someone has the most darkest of secrets, and they must kill them all.
