I drop my fork, gasping.

“Are you sure you're–”

“I said I’m fine!” I snap. Tears of frustration gather in my eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m just... I’m sorry.”

To prove it, I pick the fork back up and force a bite of pancake into my mouth.

My senses prick as the food settles in my mouth. It’s bland and dry… crusty, even.

I try not to wince as I chew.

Apparently, I don’t hide it well enough, as Dad notices. “Don’t you like the food, princess?”

I force myself to swallow.

It feels like more of a punishment than relief, something grating against the walls of my throat. It burns, as if I've swallowed tiny pieces of glass.

This time, I don’t try to hide the wince.

“Water,” I rasp, clutching my throat. “I need water.”

Instead of getting it for me, Mom places her hand over mine, squeezing tightly. Her head tilts. “What’s wrong, dear? Don’t you like pancakes anymore?”

A chill races down my spine.

I try to pull away, but her grip tightens.

My gaze flickers to my father. He’s looking at me in the s

  • I Fell In Love With A Ghost    012: Nightmare

    "Get what done with?" He sighs tiredly. "Your test... Your death. Whatever you want it to be. Your choice." He brushes by me, and I instinctively step away. But not without noticing his scent. The perfume Chris wore all the time. It makes me yearn for him even more. "You coming?" he calls, and I realize he's already by the mirror, a hand stretched toward me. I hesitate, watching his hand warily. "Jesus, Nov," he hisses. "Stop acting like I'm gonna kill you."It's not my fault I'm hesitant. He is going to kill me if he gets the chance. He's literally designed to do so. But remembering what Zephyr said about wasting time, I take his hand. He smirks, and then he drags me through the mirror. I scream, the cuts inflicted by Allison earlier feeling like my skin is being pulled from my body as we pass through portals of light. When we stop traveling and everything settles, I discover that we're back at Chris's house."You want to know why your self-motivation is important? You're g

  • I Fell In Love With A Ghost    011: Chris

    Laughter resounds in the space, from all the mirrors. Something stabs my right arm, sending pain shooting through the area. "Please," I beg. Again, I'm met with laughter. "I told you," The reflection behind me grips my hair tightly, pulling my head back. "You shouldn't have touched the water."When her grip loosens, I feel my hair out of its bun. Before I can touch it, something drops on my lap. I look down. A bundle of my hair. "I gave you a haircut," the Allison in front of me says. "You needed it."I blindly feel the back of my head, wincing through the pain from lifting my arm. My hair... Half the length is gone. Allison's image in the mirror in front of me fades, leaving behind my broken, bloodied reflection. I look like I've been through hell. I feel like I've been through hell. Her voice sounds from behind me. "You should be grateful. Your hair looked terrible before." She giggles. "I helped you fix it, and you should thank me."I remain quiet, glaring. I hate her,

  • I Fell In Love With A Ghost    010: The lake of mirrors

    Instinctively, I reach out to touch her, but my hand makes contact with the cold glass instead. Her image fades. Her giggles come from somewhere else in the room – probably another mirror – but I don’t bother following it this time. I remember what my spirit guide had said earlier about my feelings, and I quickly wipe my eyes, calling out for him. “Zephyr? Are you here?”“What do you think?” His voice drips with boredom as he appears in the mirror I'm facing. “Where am I?”“The lake of mirrors,” he answers. “A part of the illusion realm. Just like before, you have to confront the important people and events in your life. In this realm, you will fight memories. Not all are real, but they appear real. Your task is to figure out what isn't.”“How do I know the ones that aren’t real?” Expecting the usual, “…Figure it out” answer, I’m surprised when he says, “Your gut. It’s the only thing that you should trust.”“But what if my gut is wrong?”A beat passes in silence. Then, “This is t

  • I Fell In Love With A Ghost    009: Zephyr

    "No!" I cry. Yanking my hand from his grip, I try to run back, through the barrier of light. But once again, he stops me. "Why won't you just let me say goodbye?!" He takes his time answering. "I can take you back if you wish," he says evenly. "Then you will remain in a world designed to use your desires to destroy you." I swipe at my eyes angrily. "You're heartless." "Yes. Unlike you souls, I do not have a heart." His tone doesn't waver. "I don't act stupidly based on feelings. I am not naive. I think before I act. I do not let feelings guide decisions that determine fate.” His face stays neutral, but there's something else in his eyes – anger, maybe, or restraint. “Everything I do is planned, structured. That's why I'm superior to you. That's why, when I make a decision that could save your life – even if your feelings get in the way – I do it." I scoff but say nothing. Instead, I sink to the floor – or whatever passes for a floor here – and rest my chin on my knees. The next fe

  • I Fell In Love With A Ghost    008:I’m sorry

    Before I can stop myself, I scream. He laughs menacingly, stepping inside. “You want to leave us? After bringing us here?”I take a step back. “You’re not even real,” my voice trembles, my vision blurred with tears.He takes one further. “I’m right here, princess. If I wasn’t, would you be able to feel this-”His fingers lengthen, taking a claw-like shape as he tries to grab me. I move back, frantic, looking for a way of escape. But the walls only seem to be closing in around me. Right when he's about to get to me, the walls close in on us.For a moment, there’s only darkness.The air thickens, and each breath comes harder than the last. I press a hand to my chest, fighting for what little air I can draw in.Then, suddenly, everything snaps back to normal.I gasp, filling my lungs as much as I can. When my breathing steadies, I look around.I’m in the kitchen again. Everything looks the same, yet somehow the place feels different, more… alive.Before I can figure out what’s changed
