Idiot
I'm not scared of ghosts,” Sue says.
“Me too,” I reply with a smile.
“But I’d like to become one,” she continues.
“Why?” I am amused.
“Because ghosts can travel anywhere, overhear people and uncover their secrets, know the past and the future.”
“Hmmm…I’m not sure about that." I laugh.
“How do you know? Isn’t that what planchette, ouija boards and seances are for? People call spirits, ghosts to question them.”
“Well….” I stop with a smile. Sue has always been an idiot. Her ghost is also an idiot. She still hasn't been able to figure out I killed her.
