Andy sat on his steps outside him house. He was wearing a baby blue shirt and beige cargos. He was in a real blue funk. His girlfriend, Lisa, had just broken up with him less then two weeks ago: then, 1 day ago, she had been killed by her recent boyfriend Drew. He knew he'd never see another girl again!
A brush of cold air made him shiver. He looked around and saw a glimmer. A young woman with white skin, closed eyes, long raven black hair and a light blue dress on suddenly appeared in front of him. He jumped in surprise. Nah, probably the shock of Lisa's death. The girl floated past him. He thought for a moment, and then followed her. She led him to a cliff where she collapsed and started to moan and sob. For a moment, he forgot she was a ghost. He tapped her on the shoulder. To his surprise, his hand didn't fall through.
"E-exscuse me." He said. "What's your name?"
She turned to face him, blue eyes filled with tears.
"Sharon. Sharon. My name is Sharon O'Burn. It was going to be..."
She broke into sobs. He sat down beside her and she told him her story.
"My name was Sharon O'Burns. I was a adolescent in the 19th century. I had a fiancé named Archiebald Bandanny. We were going to get married. Then one day, he had to go to sea for a month. I kneeled here at the edge of the cliff. He was motioning for me to jump down: that was 1 year after he left. He said he had found a home. I jumped...but it turned out to not be real! I fell in the water, and drowned. Now I cannot rest until someone else joins me. Someone else who has lost a loved one. I need someone to jump off the cliff, and join me."
She paused, looking into his deep blue eyes.
"You have felt pain. Will you jump? Look down, and you will see your beloved..."
In spite of his conscience who was screaming NO!!, Andy looked. He saw Sharon on her father's cruise, laughing and telling him to jump. She was holding a soft, very plush, long rectangle. She was telling him it was ok. Sharon started to moan again.
"Look in my eyes, Andy." She whisprered. He looked. He immediatly felt a feeling of happiness and relief. He heard her voice, softly saying,
"Jump. Jump, or I will."
He resisted. She jumped off the cliff, her screams echoing in his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RING! RING!
Andy yelled. He opened his eyes, expecting to see the pearly gates. Instead he saw an alarm clock. He felt his arms and legs. He was alive. He looked out his window instinctively, and saw a glimmer. Sharon O'Burns appeared in front of him. Another glimmer appeared beside her. Strange! A man, a handsome robust man with red hair took her in his arms. He could see Sharon's face. She smiled at him, nodding. He realized she had taught him the value of life.
And the with a final wink, she vanished. |
