So I had died and was aghast, and I went around when I saw a baseball headed toward a little kids head I caught it, and then everyone thought he had powers and I had to make stuff float for him. We played together. Then these guys came over, I think to take the house, and I messed with them, they eventually ran back. I stayed and the family tried to communicate with me. I said my name was Everett and I was trying to get free. The guys came back and I said I needed to go. The little boy didn't want me to leave, we had become close, and I said it would only be for a while. I memorized their house # and ride in the back of the guys car, to scare him at his house to make sure he wouldn't come back. It was a few blocks away, he lived in the top floor of a penthouse, but it was a rundown desert town so it wasn't tall and had only six stories. As we both walked across, I saw a woman jump out of a window, I got scared and was going to catch her, but she glided down and said "Hello World!" I saw a policee officer say "Ah purple dress is up again". Then I accidentally bumped into the man, he looked like Goob from Meet the Robinsons, and he knew I was following him. He tried to hide it, then ran across the street to get back to his car. I followed, because I knew he was going to get rid of their house and leave me behind. But he stopped and his phone, with my mom's case, flew out onto the street with a giant truck coming toward it. Before it got hit, I floated over and brought it back to him. He was touched and we both went back to the boys house. We built a machine that would "set me free" and u got into position. But just as I was felling happy, he smiled evilly, and pulled a lever. It hurt a lot, electricity was everywhere. I became visible to Goob and the little boy. He was horrified and Goob just laughed. He picked up the pieces of paper I had written and said to me "so you're name is Everett huh? Too bad you couldn't mind your own business , then You would be free." I got trapped in a tiny bottle and he took me back. He told his partner he had caught the ghost. His partner, I'll call him T, was supposed and said "But they're just a kid." Goob ignored him and put me on his desk and walked away laughing. While he was away, T picked me up and said sorry. Then he threw the bottle on the ground and I was free, but very weak. I was visible to him, but he could not touch me. I reached out but I was fading. I turned back into a ghost and that's all I can remember. I think I went back to the house and the family got a priest to set me free, but idk.
