Knock, Knock Daisy

Feel the whisper of the shadows tickling your neck. The tight, withering embrace of the darkness. The kiss of the breeze and the sting of your eyes on crimson covered bodies.
The nightmarish sneers. A smudge of dirt on the wall.
Your book was just there, Mother says, It didn't just disappear
Accept it did. Sharp, dripping black fingers slid around The Great Gatsby. Speckles of the fluid fell to the pages. Won't be seeing that book again.
What would you do if you saw ghosts?

Charmaine is new to Escola dos Mortos, a buzzing public school full of smokers and killers and failing students and mold and rats. The worst school as schools come.
But Charmaine is hiding something.
Sneers from corners of walls.
Blood speckled kids laughing. They have bright eyes, quick feet, strawberry cheeks and sandy hair.
Charmaine sees ghosts.
Soon, she will learn that everyone is just trying to survive. Keep breathing, here at Escola dos Mortos.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Everyone is dead, at the school of the dead.
There is no hope to surface the ocean of red.
Just drown.
