Teeth w/ skeptic~?

The office lights flicker as soon as you reach for the power button, a steady chill crawling down the back of your neck. For a few seconds, you consider ignoring the warning. You really want to head out for the night, to leave the work for morning, when you’ll have a fresh perspective, but you know better. You’re almost finished, and if you leave now, you’ll come back to an empty file.  “You’re a sadist,” you mutter angrily, pushing away from the keyboard. “I’m getting coffee,” you call back over your shoulder, just to be safe. 

You round the corner, leaving behind the oppressive chill, and then nearly choke on your own tongue when you see him reflected in the dark glass of the office windows. He grins, all teeth and long dark hair, drumming his fingers impatiently on the keyboard of an empty computer. You don’t turn to face it, it only encourages the damn ghost, but you still linger long enough to read the backwards text he’s typed onto the screen.

“The only one worth their salt,” you repeat, scowling. If it wouldn’t set him off, if it wouldn’t give him more reasons to harass you beyond your sensitivity to his presence, you would flip him off. As it is, your scowl only makes his grin grow unnaturally, too wide, too strange, and he’s getting up from the desk, moving closer. Between his ridiculously tall figure and lanky limbs, he would have been startling, even in life. In death, he’s the stuff of nightmares, and he likes you.

“Coffee,” you declare, mouth gone dry as you speed away. You don’t look at anything reflective as you move through the office for the rest of the evening, but the phantom sensation of hands on your shoulders, of fingers tracing your ears or breath ghosting over your neck, never leaves.
