Keith's Ramblings

They were the happiest few years of my life. The perfect couple, they called us. She was amazing, always the life and soul of the party. I was invariably the butt of her jokes but I didn’t mind!

Sadly, she lost her life but her soul lives on. I never believed in ghosts. She did, and now I know she was right.

She waits until I’m alone then softly creeps up on me. I know she’s nearby because there’s a chill in the air. 

She tries differing ways to kindle my interest. She moves things around, makes things spin and even tickles me. She’d dig me in the ribs if she wasn’t such a softie! Yesterday she tried to surprise me by coming down the chimney. She got covered in soot, you should have seen her!

Sometimes, just for fun, I blow her around the room with my fan! She loves it. Tonight I’ve a new plan, it’s a bit of a risk but it shouldn’t cause her any harm – I’m going to chase her with my vacuum cleaner!

Our unusual relationship shows no sign of waning. It’ll keep it  going until it’s my turn to pop my clogs, then once again we’ll be the perfect couple, a couple of gleeful ghosts that will entertain those we’ve left behind – you’ve been warned!
