I Came Home as a Ghost Chapter 9
A week after I was laid to rest, Grandpa died of organ failure.We were buried side by side in the cemetery east of town. It was a quiet, open stretch of land overlooking the old millstone at the entrance to town.When I was little, I used to stand beside that millstone every day, waiting for Mom and Dad to come home.Later, whenever I went away, Grandpa would wait for me in that same spot.Mom and Dad never reopened their business. They used what remained of the family's savings, along with my scholarship money and the compensation from my school, to open a children's home in town. They named it Logan Children's Home. They took in children who had nowhere else to go.Unable to undo what they had done to me, they poured all the love they failed to give me into those children instead.They made sure none of them had to grow up feeling unwanted or alone. They gave them the safe, loving home I had always longed for.Dad, once so harsh and controlling, became gentle and patient.
I Came Home as a Ghost Chapter 8
After leaving the funeral home, Mom and Dad moved through the world like empty shells, barely aware of anything around them.When they returned home, the first thing they did was close the restaurant they had run for years. Then, they enrolled Mitchell in boarding school and hired the best caregiver they could find for Grandpa.Once everything was taken care of, they gathered the family's savings and headed north again.This time, they rented a cramped apartment near the train station and opened a small breakfast place.As Dad served customers, he made casual conversation with anyone willing to talk, picking up every rumor he could about what happened around the station.He began telling people that he was seriously ill and desperately needed a kidney transplant.He claimed they couldn't afford to go through the proper channels and were willing to consider other options, even if they weren't entirely legal.Before long, someone took the bait.One of their regular customers quie

Olivia spoke coldly. "What I remember most clearly about Logan was the day he moved in. "Nearly every other freshman arrived with their parents. He was the only one who came alone, carrying an old backpack. "He looked so thin and out of place in the crowd that a strong gust of wind could have knocked him over."Mom and Dad immediately remembered that Mitchell started kindergarten the same day I left for college. They said I was old enough to take care of myself. Mitchell was still young and needed them, so they told me to make the trip alone.It never occurred to them that I had barely traveled outside our small town by myself.They never stopped to think about how scared and overwhelmed I must have been, traveling a thousand miles to an unfamiliar city alone.Mom's eyes reddened, and her voice caught. "We failed him. We owe Logan so much."Olivia took them to the dorm room where I had lived.All three of my roommates were there. They stared at Mom and Dad as though they we

Dad stood frozen, unable to say a word.His mind went blank. The officer's question echoed over and over in his head.Why did he have children in the first place?Years ago, as soon as Mom recovered from giving birth, they moved to the city and opened a small breakfast place. They woke before dawn and worked late into the night until their hands were rough with calluses.Back then, Dad wanted only one thing: he wanted to earn enough money to bring me to the city as soon as possible. He wanted me to attend a good school and have all the things he had never been able to give me.Somewhere along the way, everything changed.He made money, bought a house, and gave the family a better life, but he also became busier and more distant.The more he chased success, the easier it became to leave me behind with Grandpa.Year after year, he saw me only during brief holiday visits. Whenever he came home, he saw how naturally I turned to Grandpa and how guarded I became around him.It made

Dad raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "What could've happened? Logan's probably hiding somewhere, throwing a fit because he thinks he can force me to back down. Well, it's not going to work! Until he writes that apology and admits he was wrong, I'm not letting this go."Mom started to say something, but one look from Dad silenced her.Grandpa grabbed the mayor's arm, his voice trembling. "Tell me the truth. What happened to Logan? Is he in trouble?"The mayor had just opened his mouth when the sound of police sirens came from outside.Two uniformed officers hurried into the house, their expressions grim. One of them looked around the room before turning to Mom and Dad."We need to speak with you about your son, Logan Meyer. Yesterday, he was found dead at a rental house near the train station.""That's impossible!" Dad shouted, all the color draining from his face."I just talked to him. How could he be dead? You have the wrong person! He's hiding somewhere. He's doing this to sc

After a long silence, Grandpa finally worked up the courage to speak. "If none of you will call Logan, then I will. If you won't bring him home, I'll go get him myself."With that, he grabbed his cane and headed for the door.The moment Dad saw Grandpa leave, he flew into a rage.Pointing after Grandpa, he shouted, "See? This is exactly why Logan turned out so spoiled! When he gets out into the real world, he won't last a day. He'll never amount to anything!"The more Dad talked, the angrier he became. He spun around and stormed into the bedroom Grandpa had prepared for me.My heart dropped, and I rushed after him.Dad ripped the new comforter off my bed and threw it onto the floor. He stomped on it twice and cursed loudly. "So he won't come home because he's mad at me? Fine! Then he doesn't get this, either!"His gaze shifted to the certificates covering the wall.Every award I had earned from elementary school through high school was carefully arranged there. They represe
