I originally wrote this story back in 2004 in response to a high school assignment of writing a horror story in English. Now, twenty years later, I decided to release it as a teaser short story to break the ice, dip the toe in the water and get over the hurdle of actually publishing something - ahead of the publication of my separate and extensive novel, ''''Burning Bright'''', which I have been continuously writing on for what feels like forever (read more on www.smthygesen.com). It somehow seemed only appropriate that one of the first works of fiction I ever wrote should also mark my first release here: A short story about ghosts, and the unsettling ways in which they can play a strange part in our past and future.
