.
It was bound to cause an outcry, after all, the graveyard was centuries old and the idea of building houses on it divided the community.
A meeting was held and the proposal was put to the vote, whereupon it marginally won.
The door creaked open, and a column of ashen-faced individuals filed in.
‘We wish to vote’, hissed one.
A year on, the graveyard remains.
.
Obviously!
Indeed!
👍🏼
The spectre of raising the graveyard frightfully abandoned
That certainly won’t be happening!
Marvelous story! I love it Keith. I suppose the “residents” had their say.
Defy their wishes at your peril! Thanks so much, Suzette.
Exactly! My pleasure, Keith
Chilling!
About one mile down the road from me is a small area surrounded by a metal fence. ‘Supposedly’ there are a few graves there. No one knows for sure, but the property owner can’t build on it.
How intriguing! Guess you’ll never really know what lies beneath the surface.
Ghosts always get their way, have you ever noticed that? I’m not sure why.
They do, and they bring the temperature down which is a pain in winter!
What delightful bite-size fiction you have given us here, Keith 🙂 Cause every day’s a good day for a ghost story! 😀
It is! Thanks so much, Sunra.
Brilliant take Keith
Thank you, Di.
You dont want to mess with them
That would be very unwise!
Haha! Enjoyed where this prompt took you.
I’m pleased, thank you!
Nicely done, Keith. One only need see the American supernatural horror film (1982), Poltergeist, to know that this outcome is very much for the best.
I remember it well Bill!
