When You Leave

“When You Leave”
A ONE-SHOT
(For Nikkinik's “Your Spirit Haunts Me” Contest)
{ Based on a true story. }

Ebony has lived with elderly relatives most of her life and has heard perhaps all their superstitions, beliefs, and experience. And as a child up until now, Ebony has believed these tales of her relatives, even though she knew they were silly.

When her grandma passes away, her 'phobia' comes back of experiencing the same things her relatives had with 'ghosts' and she's become a nervous wreck. Until she realizes something she should have a long time ago - her grandma would never haunt her. All because of one simple, amusing reason.

Dedicated to grandma.
