“It's not you it's me.”

I wonder if the other letters get jealous of P, G, R, N and C
because they get to rate movies while they don't. Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
The Simple
Paranormal Encounter
Jacob the
cheery, grade school old boy walked along merrily during a warm
spring day. The flowers bloomed those nice colors seen in story books
and enough clouds dotted the skies to make it pretty but not show
sign of coming rain.
While Jacob
traveled along the sidewalk a ghost materialized in front of him. The
ghost floated only an inch above the ground and had a body twice his
size. It formed as a huge mass of gray and black. Three openings on
its front served as a pair of eyes and a mouth with a hanging jaw and
ethereal fangs.
“Hello Mr.
Sidewalk Ghost,” Jacob said to the ghost.
“Hello little
boy. It's always nice to get a little company while you're stuck
haunting.” The ghost smiled. “Not many people stop and walk
around this part of town. Most people just drive by.”
“I'm happy I
could say hi to you.” The boy smiled at the ghost. The boy's smile
then turned to a frown. “Mr. Sidewalk Ghost could you help me? I'm
lost. I have to go to the library to study but I got lost.”
The ghost
thought for a moment. He really wanted to have company but he didn't
want to keep the boy from where he needed to go. “I know where that
is. Turn back around and go eight blocks go left, then the library is
just past the burger joint.”
“Thank you
Mr. Sidewalk Ghost.” The boy left to go study at the library.
“Goodbye little boy.” The ghost enjoyed his simple encounter
with the boy and hoped someone else would come to his little section
of the sidewalk soon.
