Status: Short Story remake of "The Girl with the Green Ribbon".
Green Ribbon, Green Ribbon
kept
When we finished high school, we planned on parting. My sad, black and white girl kissed me for the first time before running across a crowded dock to catch a ferry.
"Come back to me, Lulu!" I screamed over the ruckus. "You still owe me a secret!"
She waved a thin ghostly hand in reply, then seemed to think about what she was doing. Lulu glanced between me and the dark lake ahead, then back to me. She gave me a small smile and blew me a kiss.
Among the drab, black and white people, I watched her green ribbon disappear in their midst.
A ghastly horn sounded, then the boat tugged forward into the dim fog.
