The Ghost's Truth

The ghost grabbed, or tried to grab a sheet tacked to the wall, after a few tries, some of which involved his hand passing through the sheet, he pulled the sheet away and a wall safe was behind the sheet.

"Now, maybe I can get some work done," said the apparition. He started to fumble with the combination lock.

Morgan and Brooklyn could be heard making muffled screams from the next room and Gwyneth and Alexadra started to moan.

"Oh my god, shut up!" said the ghost. "Wait a minute. Did you tamper with this?"

He walked over and pulled the gag out of Alexandra's mouth. "What did you do?"

"You're dead!" said Alexandra.

"You don't scare me," said the ghost.

"You're Kenneth Swayne. You died 10 years go. You had a heart attack in this house as you looked for that safe!"

"Very funny," said Kenneth.

"It's 2023," said Alexandra.

"It's 2013."

"Look at my wallet. It's in my pants. Check the issue date. Check the expiration dates of my credit cards."

Kenneth went to Alexandra's jeans. It took him a few tries to lift them.

"See, why can't you just pick them up."

Kenneth ignored her. He took out her wallet and looked at the license. He dropped it and looked at his hands. He passed his hand through the wall in front of him.

"See!"

Kenneth did not look sad though. He looked angry. He went into the room where Brooklyn and Morgan were. A minute later, Brooklyn walked out, but Alexandra and Gwyneth could tell it was Brooklyn's body, but there was something off behind her eyes.
