Drabble prompt from the dialogue list!

“It’s too late for us now. We’re all going to die.”

Ghosts

(written for #YRDC2024 @youngroyals-events)

“... and when she looked up…” Stella pauses dramatically “...someone was right there… floating.”

Lightning strikes, making Fredrika scream.

“It's just li…” Maddie starts, but is cut off by the lights going out.

“Oh, my god!” Fredrika’s voice sounds panicked. “It's the ghost!”

“Ghosts aren't evil.” Maddie argues.

“Ghosts are real?” Sara sounds more puzzled than scared.

“NO!” Felice retorts before Maddie can say anything else.

“I think it's too late for us now. We’re all going to die.”

“NOT helping, Stella!”

Sara turns on a flashlight. “There. Now we can see the ghosts when they come.”

“Sara!”

Fredrika screams again.
