The Ghost Who Tried to Love Me Read Online Free

sure that if
I fell asleep the dream and the ghost would come back. After most
of the coke and half a pack of Oreos I fell into an exhausted
sleep.
    She never came back. I have to suppose that
the local god decided to help me, maybe he had a netherworld
conference call with her and asked her to come onto someone else, I
don't know. Brenda asked the people in my building for any
information on anyone who had lived there before me, whether there
had been suicides or murders in that apartment, but no one knew
anything. The dreams have never returned, and the fan over the
stove never shorted out again while I lived there. I hope that I
never see her again.
    But I know they're out there. Some nights I
can feel the places she touched, just like old joints stiffening up
before a storm comes. I know when ghost month comes because my lips
burn and I dream of her blank face, screaming back at me as she
fell back out of my world and into hers.
