This is a story about a girl who could see ghosts. Well, they weren't really GHOSTS...they're spirits...and she didn't really SEE them...she could feel that they were there. But after a while this "gift" of hers developed a little more. She was able to talk to them...even get an image of them in her mind sometimes. She would have thought she was loosing her mind and making it all up if 4 of her friends didn't have the same "gift". Even then she would have thought she was going nuts if they all didn't feel the same things in the same place...if it hadn't all matched up so well...she would have sent herself to "florida" (that's what us crazy people call the mental hospital...makes it seem so much nicer). Well, she kept seeing them...you know what I mean...all the time. Like there was a girl named Emily. She was 7 years old. She had light brown...almost blond hair. It was long and pulled back into pig tails tied with red bows. Her dress was blue and trimmed with lace...like a little country girl dress. She had on white stockings. But she wore these tiny ratty little shoes. They were brown and all worn out. She was a sweet girl too. She would always help out the girl she was visiting when help was needed. Lets call this girl (the one who sees spirits) erin. WEll, Emily, before this "gift" was given to erin, she gave her a rock that said emily all over it. Erin kept the rock...later on she put 2 and 2 together.
Well, stuff happened. One time erin was on her way home from the shrink...it was dark out and all. Her mom was driving. Well, erin saw these 2 hitch hikers on the side of the road. They were just standing there, on the side of the highway, in the dark, hitch hiking. But all of a sudden one of the hitch hikers jumpped infront of erins car. They hit a bump...erin looked back and there was no one there.
well, stuff kept happening but erin only met random people...well spirits... Three of her grandparents were dead and she never saw any of them. Her great grandfather showed up sometimes...she missed him so much...but he was her gardian angel. But she really wanted to see her great grandmother or her grandmother, both who she knew. She wanted to meet her grandfathers too...she never got to know them at all.
Well, one day erin was talking ot her friend...ummm...lindsay...on the phone. She told erin how her mom was a witch and it runs through the family and stuff (no kidding) and how the devil can only visit one person in the family one time in the entire history of the family. Well, lindsays mom...was visited by the devil one night. You know how someone will sit on your bed and it'll sink down? well, her mom felt the bed sink down. She looked at the end of the bed and there was a man sitting on her bed...and I don't mean her husband either. This man was absolutly perfect. He tried to get on lindsays mom too. He was on top of her when he tilted his head back and his face turned red. He grew horns and muscles and all...the works. He looked just as you would have imagined the devil.
Well, erin was in bed one night. She always had this lamp on...it spun and had pictures of fish and whales n' stuff. Well, it was never turned off at night...for good reason too. well, erin was tossing and turning and looking at her walls and all the memories from the pics...she couldn't get to sleep. She wasn't worried about it though...she figured it was only 11ish. Well, she went out to the kitchen for a drink and to her surprise, the clock said it was 2:30 AM! So she decided maybe it was the lamp keeping her awake so she turned it off. She was lying on her stomach holding her teddy bear when she felt the bed sink. It didn't sink much becase it was a futon...but she could tell someone was sitting on it. She was so scared because the only thing that went through her mind was the story her friend told her about how the devil visited her mom. Erin was so scared-she didn't think it could really be the devil b/c erin wasn't a witch...she could just talk to spirits. Of course her parents would never belive her.
Well, erin never did look to see who it was...but her friend...errr...lindsay knew who it was. Lindsay had "the gift" too if you didn't know alredy. Well, it turns out it was erins grandmother who she missed so much. She let herself get so scared over nothing that she missed her chance to talk to her grandmother. But grandma watched me sleep that night...she didn't mean to scare me...she wanted to watch me sleep. I figure maybe she used to do that to my mummy too...yes...erin is me mom. If that is you're even reading this...I dunno if you will...but I hope that if you do you're very open minded about it all.
