#It's so unserious but this woodland creature of ancient discord is down BAD for this ghostly entity.

[one-in-a-million-fishsticks]

The first short story in my paranormal fantasy series Wachterin has such a stupid plot, and I love it for that because the laughter I get from writing it is priceless.

Beat for beat it's just:

Cliche horror movie family moves into a haunted house

Haunted house is VERY haunted

Cliche horror movie family already has a vaguely annoyed poltergeist attached to them

Vaguely annoyed poltergeist doesn't like sharing things

Vaguely annoyed poltergeist get's even more annoyed at the very notion of sharing anything with another spirit

The pettiest fucking ghost dispute in all of written history occurs

Dark/evil spirit is powerful but vaguely annoyed poltergeist is the ghostly equivalent of jacked as hell so they aren't too concerned when the conflict escalates

Dark/evil spirit crosses a line and there is murder, this is where the dead go to die

Poltergeist returns to being in a state of only vague annoyance as they get comfortable in their new territory

The human family lives happily ever after because they are the one singular group of beings that the vaguely annoyed poltergeist is willing to coexist with (they're all pretty chill guys)

The end
