I SAW A GHOST
Audrielyn E. Ulloa
I saw a ghost! I'm not joking!
Mother? Father? Hello? Anybody there?
Oh gosh. I'm all alone, stuck in this bedroom with
nobody to protect me. Am I that evil? Am I that
MEAN? Tell me what is wrong with me! Why am I
seeing a ghost?
*shivers * Ooh, I'm so cold. I can't breathe! What is
HAPPENING? *gasp* I SAW A GHOST! A ghost is
hugging me!
I ran as fast as I can. I went to the bathroom and
started to cry... cry... cry...
Father... Mother... Sister... I am sorry! I'm sorry for
being a horrible daughter! I'm sorry for lying about
not doing my homework, for stealing sister's
necklace! And when Mother asked if I took it, I said
NO! Sister was CRYING! SHE WAS CRYING! I AM
SORRY!
Oh... please, PLEASE forgive ME! I didn't mean to
lie to you. But this time, HONEST, there really IS A
GHOST!
*gasp* The ghost is COMING! Mother... Father...
Sister... HELP ME! I saw a ghost.
Wait. Wait... Father...? Mother...? Sister...? Father's
the ghost? All this time my family TRICKED ME?
Why?
Oh, I see. It's because I lie a lot. This is a lesson for
me. I promise I will never lie again. Pinky swear!
*mumbles* but really... all the while I thought I saw
a ghost. *chuckles*
