Lisa's POV
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 .
Jāy POVBuzz…. BuzzThe continuous buzzing sound of my stupid alarm clock woke me up from my sleep,just when I was having the most amazing dream I ever had.With just one hit on the alarm clock the buzzing came to an end."Stupid alarm,waking me up this early" I mumbled as I covered my head with my pillow. I just seem to ignore the fact that I was the one that set the alarm to wake me up but gosh it just so hard to wake up early.I stood up from my bed still wrapped in my old duvet I dragged myself to down from the bed to say a short prayer which includes mumbling some words and I was done praying.I stood up stretched my body and finally opened my eyes as the sun rays found it way into my dilating pupils, my eyes caught sight of the bibles I places all around my room.*seem like it worked* I thought, today seemed like a good day cause I just feel happy.Nevertheless it another day of job hunting cause I'm dead broke right now, and I don't even have anything for breakfast."Dad you ca
Jāy's POVI can't believe I'm seeing this girl again. "Am I going crazy or what"I thought"Bring the rope fast ooh" josh kept screaming as they tried to pin me down but I kept struggling to free myself"Can't you see her?" I asked pointing in her direction,but non of the could see her."Please am not here to hurt you"she said as she walked slowly closer to me."No no stay far away from me" I yelled as I freaked out the more,but she still came close,I had no choice than to bite one of the person who held me tightly as I freed myself and ran speedily to my room with the hope that the bibles will help save me from any evil spirit following me around.I locked the door behind me immediately I got in even shifting my cupboard to barricade the door for added assistance.I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned,but was shocked to see her standing behind me."What do you want from me you evil spirit" I screamed immediately as I picked up one of the bible from the ground and pointed it towards he
Jāy's POVAll I felt was chills as the ghost girl corrected most of my answers in the interview by whispering the answer to me."You can give him the answers now" she whispered in my ears,I obeyed as I weakly gave him the the sheet. "You can go, we'll call you" he repliedI stood up confused,as I walked out of the office with the girl following me quietly.I got into an elevator to take me downstairs and she followed me."I thought I told you to quit following me around,I can't help you" I finally summoned up courage and said"Is that how you'll appreciate me for the help I offered" she replied ignoring my question, I felt kinda guilty,yeah she helped me but that doesn't change the fact that I don't want her around me."By the way I didn't ask for your help in the first place,you just showed up and did what no one asked you to do" I replied in a harsh tone. She opened her mouth to say something but kept quiet without saying a word,I just kept silent too as i waited for the elevator to
I laid back on my bed contemplating on the next decision to take,because right now I was beginning to feel as if josh was right….what if I'm truly going insane I thought or what if this is the plan of my village people all these I thought as I laid on my bed,but just then an idea hit me as I sat back down on the bed."If I am to help you, I'll have to know everything about you,even were your from and your house" I said with a serious face as I looked straight into her eyes as if I could read her thoughts"No problem, if you want I can take you to my house"she replied with her eyes still fixed to mine not even blinking a bit, I got scared a bit of her direct stare into my eyes and so i shifted my glance"Okay then take me to your house" I said as I stood up and she followed suit but the door barged open as hefty men stormed into my room"Look at him,his the one" josh said as he barged in with the men,pointing at me, I quickly dived towards my window in a bid to escape through it,but th
Cēē jāy POVI cough as I tried to breathe but the tight grip of the man on my throat made it hard for me. I glanced slowly to my left to see Lisa the ghost girl screaming and panicking"What the I get myself into" I muttered between hard coughs and gasp for air"What going on here" a voice said and the man quickly left his grip on my throat as he turned quickly to the direction of the voice. Lisa walked up to me as she mumbled some consoling words while I coughs hard struggling to breathe"Sir I caught this kid eavesdropping on your conversation on caughtphone" the man that tried to strangle me saidI looked up at the man from the floor were I knelt as Lisa's uncle walked up to me slowly and menacingly towards me."What did you hear kid" he asked with a killer tone."Tell him that you just came in when the guard saw you, that you didn't hear anything" Lisa whispered to me"I didn't hear anything,I just came here when he caught me" I repeated what lisa told me Uncle Charles POVI look
The smile on her face was priceless and jāy couldn't help but stare "what!! Why are you staring at me like that" lisa asked blowing off the strand of hair that covered her face…"You should smile more" jāy replied grinning. Lisa blushed as she turned to avoid his stare "You seem pale" jāy asked and lisa turned "huh ??" Lisa mumbled as she touched her face. "The first day I saw you,you looked much better" jāy explained. "It might be because I've been away from my corpse,I have to return to it or be near it to feel refreshed with life,but I can't find my body" lisa replied as her eyes fell sadly Her sad countenance had a toll on me "we'll find it "jāy said trying to comfort her "But how,we don't even know were to start, even my wicked uncle can't find it" she replied as tears dropped from her eyes "I don't have much time left again" lisa added Jāy just sat silently wishing he could do more to help, he was even more confused not knowing were to start to search for her body, but hi
Jay could feel the piercing gaze of Charles on him. it was as if the man could see through him, read his thoughts. he focused his eyes on the ballpen in his hand as he fiddled anxiously with it. He was lost in this nervous state until Charles walked past him and he let out a sigh of relief. Charles walked forward, took out his phone from his pocket and messaged the receptionist. “Who is that boy seated opposite your desk, in the waiting area?” Charles texted. The receptionist saw the message and looked towards Jay’s area before replying the message; “It’s a new employee sir, he was hired to work with the production team” The receptionist typed hurriedly so as not to keep him waiting. Charles had walked into his office and was waiting patiently for the Reply from the receptionist. Ball of sweat formed on his head as he was lost in thought about discovering Lisa’s corpse before any other person finds it and now this boy surfaces, something just doesn’t add up. “He knows something,
Something was wrong and Lisa could feel it. The air of confusion hovered around her; she just couldn’t decide on the next action to take. She took a deep breath, shut her eyes and appeared in Bruce’s car. She had wanted to appear in Jay’s car but her focus was foggy as her mind kept thinking only about Bruce and that was how she ended up here.Bruce drove steadily behind Jay, actually, there were couple of Cars ahead of him, but they all acted as a cover so as not to making his trailing obvious.Meanwhile, Jay threw his gaze out the window. Watching everything run by quickly. The car was quiet, even a grave yard would be jealous of how silent the car was. the Uber-Driver glanced at Jay from the rear-view mirror. He could notice the look of Distress in the young man’s eyes.“Are you okay, young man?” The driver who would probably be in his early fifties asked.“No, I’m not good, my life is a wreck. I’m going crazy, seeing things I’m not supposed to” Jay said in his head but his lips mu
