Next?”
“Where will I
find them? The murdered people?”
“In the storage
units. You’ll find the murder weapons, bloodied clothes and other delightful
items. You’ll be busy.”
Grace frowned.
“But I haven’t seen any murdered ghosts yet. Are you sure they’ll be in the
storage units?”
Pearl put a
ghostly hand on Grace’s arm. Instead of feeling the usual chill when a ghost
touched her, Grace felt a warmth. It felt good. Pearl said, “The ghosts are
there, you didn’t see them because it wasn’t time for you to see them yet. Some
of them followed you home, some are still in this shop. You can get to them
later.”
Grace looked
around the shop expecting to see deformed ghosts with knives sticking out of
them.
She said, “I’m
not sure, Pearl, I don’t think I’m strong enough. How could I help them? Can’t
I just tell the police about them? Can’t the ghosts tell me who murdered them?”
“They don’t know,
or they forget at the moment of death. Grace, it has to be you. You have the
gift, just like I had. I’ll help you. I can’t leave the shop but we can talk,
work out clues and stuff like that. Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to me about
this ghost business?”
Grace nodded. She
had no one else to talk to about ghosts.
Pearl shouted
out, making her jump. “Stop keeping your thoughts to yourself! Tell me what
you’re thinking. Remember how good it felt to help all those other ghosts?
Think how much better you’ll feel helping poor sods who’ve been murdered? You
might stop other people being murdered. It’s your duty!”
Grace flinched.
That little woman had a big voice. “But …” she began.
“Buts are for
losers!” Pearl declared. “You can do this, Grace, I believe in you.”
Grace was just
about to sigh but then caught Pearl’s look. Could she do this? Could she help
people who’d been murdered?
Grace nodded at
Pearl and said, “When do I start?”
A note from the author
Just like Frankie in this story I love
watching storage auction programmes. I’ve never been to one but I’d love to
visit one of the big ones in America, I’m sure I’d be useless at bidding though
– I’d be too excited.
When I watch the shows I always wonder
where the items have come from, and who they belonged to. I wondered what would
happen if some of the items had ghosts attached. I reached a point where I couldn’t
stand it anymore and I knew I had to write some stories down, I was inspired by
the variety of items that have been discovered in storage lockers.
I hope you enjoyed this first story. If
you did could you post a quick review? Thank you, I read all my reviews and I
really do appreciate them.
