"Well, that's what happens when you sleep in dangerous places."
The atmosphere felt too serious to be making casual remarks like that. It was rather odd - how could such a dark scene as this happen in such a vibrant and lively kitchen? Six children, reduced to 'practically ghosts', discussing their options, and a mother, weeping over her apparently missing child, unable to see him right in from of her. Had this kitchen ever seen anything so grim?
It had all started because of a school project. It was simple, really. Film something. And of course, someone HAD to suggest a horror movie. The four other students soon learned that they probably should have listened to Miki when she protested the location of their film being the 'haunted' house near the park.
And now, they find themselves crossing the line between our world and that of the dead - and racing against the clock to get back.

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.
