Having to have died ages ago without the ability to pass on to the other side was tough. But sitting through the ages knowing the other side of the war had won made it all the worst! What better outlet was there than scaring the daylights out of the living who dared claim your home as theirs?
The soul of a Confederate fighter finds the familiar routine has begun: the modern wench setting the sign in front of his home, a family finding the house adorable, that same family moving their unflattering furniture about like they owned the place! But that always leads to the most entertaining part of being a ghost: the haunting.
But this family of three carries a small surprise he doesn't expect. For the first time, somebody who was alive SEES him! The boy no older than six, and the soldier and his ghostly acquaintances have no idea how to handle this new experience: does the man allow the boy's family to stay and appease their timely curiosity? Or do they treat them like any other who has entered his home and make sure their afterlives stay uninterrupted?

Under The Bed
As a child you always fear the monster under your bed or in your closet. Maybe you watched a scary movie or were told a horror story to make you believe something was under there. You jump onto your bed and jerk your limbs away from the edge or always shut your closet door. Then you hide under the covers in hopes that they don't get to you. As you grow older you realize the invisible monster under your bed is just that, invisible. Its not that they don't exist, it's just that you don't see them. You write off the bumps in the night as the wind or shifting floorboards but they're lies. Little white lies you tell yourself so you can sleep at night. Well I'm here to tell you that whatever is causing those bumps is very real. In my case, the source doesn't hide in my closet but rather under my bed. And he's determined to drag me right there with him. Can you be friends with the monster under your bed? ** "Ask me Aria," he rasped. His voice dripped with temptation that would make the devil jealous. His lips were brushing against mine as we leaned into each other. I felt like I was drowning in his presence. The hand that was on my breast had moved to my waist, keeping me close even as I tipped towards him. His hand was still on my sex, leisurely teasing the area. "Please," I whispered. Something mixed between a growl and a purr escaped him. It vibrated deeply from his chest. I thought he would kiss me but he didn't. His lips hovered over mine before they softly traced my cheek. I gasped when his hands moved to under my arms, moving me until I straddled his thigh.Complete

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitComplete
Ghost Hunter: CyberNerf (Alternative Draft)
NOTE TO READERS: This is an alternative draft that we wrote for Saving Rose. It's the same story, but written differently. If you read both, we'd love to hear which you prefer! After Ned's family inherited an old mansion falling apart at the seams, Ned began to play pranks on his six older siblings, trying to convince them the house was haunted. But Ned might as well have been invisible because his family wasn't fooled. Ned was just a nuisance and he really just wanted attention. His dad nagged him to pick up a tool kit and help with the chores, but Ned had a more important job-hunting imaginary ghosts with his Foam Blaster 10,000. It was the only gift he'd ever received that wasn't a hand-me-down. Sometimes the foam darts accidentally got stuck on his siblings' foreheads and that was usually his cue to run upstairs, lock himself in his room, and play his favorite online game, CyberGhost, while he let one of his siblings cool off. But when an anonymous offline player messages Ned to tell him that they need help stopping a ghost invasion IRL, Ned feels important for the first time in his life. He knew it was just a game, but could they actually be serious?Complete
