Stuck.
What did you want to be growing up?’ ‘Happy, really’ ‘that’s not the answer’ ‘you don’t understand life’ Alex smiled as she looked out of the lift, being stuck here with two girls, ‘so what do you do?’ ‘I’m studying Parapsychology, I study the impact of paranormal activity’ ‘no fucking way’ Alex grinned shouting, ‘sorry’ Lu smiled, ‘yeah, I do’. ‘How do you get into that?’ ‘I sort of watched a lot of Ghost Adventures’ Alex laughing, ‘but I saw some of the experts they used and went to university to study psychology with them, that brought me to Baltimore, I know do a doctorate’ ‘what in?’ ‘It’s about the impact of spectres and ghosts in horror movies on those who have seen ghosts supposedly and those who haven’t’ Alex smiled, ‘can I?’ Alex scooting up, Lu smiled talking, her friend rolling her eyes, ‘your subject is just made up’ ‘I find it fascinating’ ‘me too, so you’re a parapsychologist’ ‘I am indeed’.

Lu sat on a bed with him, sitting on the pillows quietly, filming the room together, ‘is it hard to find anything’ ‘sometimes, I’m convinced, sometimes, well mostly I’m not’ Alex nodded talking very quietly, stopping when they heard anything, ‘should we call out?’ ‘No, never ever do that unless asked, psychosomatics sets in’ ‘what?’ ‘People believing something that’s not happening’ Alex nodded, ‘that makes sense’ giving him a 101 on Ghost Hunting, staying up throughout the night until the early hours. Lu sighed packing everything up in her car again, ‘what do you think?’ ‘I think it’s a couple who want a ghost for better business’ Alex smiled, ‘people want to freak out their guests?’ ‘You have no idea’ getting in her car, ‘where do you need to go’ ‘home, and I’d like your number’ ‘okay’ she grinned passing her card, ‘here’.
