Give up the Ghost. 👻

Date: 6/14/2020

I had adopted this teenage kid and his dog. He was a sweet little lad. No bother at all. But one day, he just disappeared and we never heard from him or saw him again. I asked my daughter to look him up on social media, but she had no luck. It’s like he had fallen off the face of the earth. His dog was this lovely fluffy poodle mix. He, too, went missing... but fortunately I found him in the utility room. Unfortunately, he was now covered head to toe in washing power, which he had also eaten. He had a white powdered mess all around his chops, as if he attempted to snort a whole bowl of cocaine. He looked deathly sick, so I poured him some water into a saucer ... but this bastard cat kept licking out of it. I poured some water into another bowl, but he wouldn’t touch it. I was really worried about him. He wasn’t even my dog... and if my adopted son ever did come back, he’d be devestated if his dog had died. Next scene; I was in Asda looking for a study guide of some sort. I walked past some diaries that were on sale for 50p... but they had strange pictures on the cover, so I gave it a miss. Feeling defeated and minus a study guide, I went to the park to meet my friend... but he wasn’t there. Instead, I found my daughter and her friends, hanging out on a park bench. They told me that the park is now haunted and there was a ghost of a boy walking up and down. Sure enough, I saw him with my own eyes. Only a quick glimpse, before he faded into the bushes. I felt really freaked out. When I got home, the post lady waved at me through the window and pointed to the back of the house. I found my parcel (this study guide) buried in a vegetable patch in the back of the garden, amongst some other random junk... including human remains (Now, there’s a twist!) Next scene; My husband and I were going to take the kids swimming but as we were driving to the pool, we remembered that it would most likely be closed (Coronavirus and all that). “Shall we have pizza instead?” He asked. The kids got excited, but I replied “pizza for the 5th time this week?! We walked into this mall to find it absolutely packed with people. Everyone kept invading my personal space and I was growing more and more irritated.
