Oh, I enjoyed this one. Didn’t expect the ending. Brilliant, Terveen. What a read to start off my day… I’ll be looking for ghosts now…
Haha! Surprises come in all shapes and sizes, some more transparent than the others. Hope your imagination is rejuvenating itself. Thanks so much, Britta. 🙂
I love the surprise ending. Very creative.

Excellent one to read as the light fades, Terveen. Maybe it has taken them 10 years to realise they are ghosts?
Now that could be a transparent angle that I missed. Haha! Thank you so much, Davy. 🙂

Yay for these trademark twists of yours, Terveen! Whenever I read anything of yours, I have to prepare myself for some sort of seismic shock at the end. And you never disappoint. It’s always a delight to read your mini-masterpieces. 🙂
That’s so kind of you, Mike. I love when things never go the way they seem they might – like my life – HAHA and ouch! You always boost my writing spirit. Much gratitude for that. 🙂
Hmmm, what a surprise ending. Your plot twist is getting more and more intriguing through each of your post.
Thank you so much, Haoyan. I suppose twists and turns are always intriguing in fiction. They are surprising entertainment. Real life is another story… 🙂
