I sat down just beside a tree,as my past kept flashing before my very eye's. I can't believe I'm alive but not alive, I can see everyone and everything but no one can see me.
I just sat there staring at a particular direction but not taking notice of anything going on around me.
My thoughts was disrupted by the sight of a living young boy walking on the road And talking all to himself..
"If my problem was a financial problem it would have been better" I muttered to myself.
"Excuse me,but it not nice to stare at someone like that" the boy talking to himself yelled at my directions,nobody could see me so I just looked around to know who he was yelling at but I didn't see anybody
"Maybe his mad or insane" I said to my self as I drifted back to my world of thoughts
"Am talking to you" he said again more seriously this time, pointing at my direction as i looked around again perplexed
"Me??" I asked confused,because nobody could see me
"Yes you,it not nice to stare like that" he rented angrily
*oh my gosh,can be see me? I thought finding it hard to believe
"Wait !, you mean me? Can you see me?" I asked again as u stood up from were I sat and walked towards his direction
"Yes you,why wouldn't I see you. I caught you staring at me and I don't like it" the boy said and turned to leave immediately I saw myself stretch out my hands to stop him, and surprisingly I touch him and I felt his skin
"Omg I can touch you" I mumbled surprised as I touched him again to confirm "am I dreaming? Is this real" I said pinching myself
"Please don't touch me your hand is cold" he said pissed off
"Sorry, but i can't believe you can see me" u said as i jumped for joy but immediately stopped as I noticed the people that gathered around the road shaking their head in pity
"Why can't I see you is only spirit that's invisible" he asked and i nodded
"Wait are you a spirit" he asked and I nodded again
"Yes and nobody else sees me and am surprise that you do" I explained
The boy looked around and took notice of the people murmuring,and some terming him as an insane person
Seems like he was beginning to freak out as his countance changed, he stood there without saying a word
"Hey hey" I yelled as jerked him
"Ghost ghost" the boy screamed running away leaving his bag behind
"Come back, please don't go" I called out but he ran away without even looking back.
Jāy POV
I ran with my legs litrally touching my back, I ran past josh and into my house..
Gosh I was sweating real bad,
"I have never been this scared in my entire life" I mumbled breathing heavily
Josh walked in "bro what's wrong you ran in like you were being chased by killers" josh asked as he walked into my room
"Please lock the door I don't want any other ghost appearing to me" I said as he walked briskly to the door and locked it
"So..what's the problem" he asked again sitting close to me
"I saw a ghost" I said in reply
Josh just bursted out laughing
"Oh my God guy,I know say you nah werey but I never believe it was to this extent" josh added still laughing hardly and it was so annoying
"Am telling you something serious and your laughing Josh!" I blurted out with anger
I felt like cutting off his mouth
"Wait so your serious about this" he said after miniutes of laughter
"Yes and everybody in the market after oyigbo now believes am mad or insane" I explained...Josh stood up and moved few steps backward
"What is it why are you moving back" I asked confused on his sudden movement
"Are you sure its not insanity " he asked grinning widely
"Mtcheew" I sign "mumu Go abeg" i said as I laid on my bed.
"Okay oh if you say so, amanda is visiting me today so I came to ask you if you have condom" Josh said
I can't believe my ears… I took a pillow and threw it at him
"Do I look like a chemist or a drug vendor that sells condom" I laughed.
"Okay I'm leaving"..." wait a minute, the ghost you saw is it a male ghost or a female" josh asked
"It a female ooh" I replied as I sat straight "and we talked she even touched me and she felt cold,and that …" I explained thinking Josh was even listening "it a girl,wow hope she's cute" he said cutting me short
"So out of all I said it the gender that's your problem" i Said in a surprised tone .. This guy is funny..
"Please don't go and contact AIDS one day oh" I yelled out to him as he left the room.
Lisa's POV
Being a ghost can be very lonely,I even wondered were the other ghost were,all my months of wandering I haven't meet my fellow ghost, and for the first time I met someone who can see me, maybe he can help me get back to my body."I need to find that guy" I said to myself as I stood up from were I sat and walked down the road.
Even as a ghost or spirit that I am,the bad road of this place still annoys me because most times it seems as if you will just fall into the holes on the road,but nevertheless I'm still in search of the boy he wouldn't have ran far. "But what if someone else can see me" I muttered as I walked in front of an incoming man,waving my hands in the process but the man walked through me "this is nuts,no one can see me" I said to myself giving up "but why Can that boy see me? Is he human?,all these thoughts kept flooding my head as I contemplated more on it.
Jāy's POV.
It getting dark and I'm already feeling sleepy and tired,it wasn't easy gathering bibles from my neighbors.
Yes I know right! I met almost all my neighbors and begged them to lend me their bible which they did. I watched in a movie that bible scares Ghost,so this is going to chase away that ghost girl from my life.
"Finally," I mumbled to myself after setting the bibles in strategic places around my room.
"No more ghost trouble" I said as I jumped on my bed and after mumbling a short prayer I laid to back to sleep.
Bang..
Bang ..a loud knock on my door sounded waking me up from my yet to come sleep.
"Josh what is it again" I cried loudly, yes I know it josh.his the only one crazy enough to pull such a stunt with my door.
"It not josh it's the ghost girl" I heard him say from the other end of the door as he tried to change his voice.
"Werey" I cursed in Yoruba dialet as i walked to open the door
"Are you scared to open the door jāy?" He teased as soon as opened the door, I ignored him and walked back to my bed.
"Jāy,are you now supplying bibles,or do you want to open church" josh said as he noticed the bibles I placed around my room.
"Josh good night,be going" I said as I pushed him outside.
"I just came to tell you that Amanda just left on,today i was one hell of a sex drive machine,if you saw the way my waist was moving "he said whining his waist
I just smirked a bit " josh goodnight" I said as I locked my door.
Jumped onto my bed once again and drifted to sleep .
