You can only wait so long, right? Loved the twist here!
Margit Sage says
I agree, great twist! Nice work with the setting.
(Looks like you’re missing a word in the last sentence “she thought saw”.)
Draco Torre says
Sorry tourists, no more waiting. Wonderful last line. Nice one, Icy.

Now that would be the perfect ghost tour but it’d be a while before I’d go on another one! Super imagery as always Icy.
Helen says
Aww sweet ending, she’s found him again. ^_^
John Wiswell says
So they split? Oh, I like that.
ganymeder says
And the tourists STILL got to see a ghost! Win-win, right? 🙂
Steve Green says
What a beautiful ghost story, I was kind of expecting horror at the end, and was happy to be wrong.
I really liked this one Icy.
Katherine Hajer says
Awwwww… that was really lovely, and a nice twist from the traditional.
