The Ghost Wife: A Short Tale of Suspense

Ghosts are people too.

The only thing I want is for my husband and teen daughter to accept reality.

And the reality is, I'm dead.

Instead, they're pretending I'm alive. They set out food for me, draw my bath, and even talk to me. This keeps me stuck in purgatory, unable to move on to the next realm, wherever that is.

I roam around my home watching my family, wondering how I could have lived differently, and what might help my current situation. Should I move towards the light like the little girl in Poltergeist? But there is no light. Why has no one come to tell me what to do? How come Walmart has greeters but not the afterlife?

Then on Christmas Day…

The doorbell rings, and the man who enters my house can see and hear me. Is he God? Or the welcoming angel I've been waiting for, the one who will tell me where to go next?

What the man says is unlike anything I'd expected. And now I have a big decision to make.

The Ghost Wife is a Christmas-themed short suspense story.
