The Phantom

Chapter 1 by youngwith11inch youngwith11inch

You wake up at the bottom of the stairs with a pounding headache. You slowly get up, everything is dark around you and you start to walk towards the living room where you notice a light is and can hear voices coming from there. "Hey, what's going on?" you ask rubbing your head as you walk into the living room.

You see your fiancee sitting on the couch with tears still glistening on her face as she is talking to what seems to be two cops. "Okay ma'am, can you please run through what happened one more time?" one of the cops asks her placing a hand on her shoulder. "I came home from work and walked in to find him lying on the bottom of the stairs with a pool of blood around him and all of our things missing." she says obviously trying hard not cry.

Your head starts to spin as you start to take your surroundings into consideration. You notice your TV is missing along with a bunch of expensive glassware that was suppose to be on top of the fireplace. "Will someone please tell me what happened?" you ask again, still getting no response. "Hello! Can you hear me?" you ask the cop trying to place a hand on his shoulder, only to have your hand go right through. "What the hell!?!" you remark again staring at your hands.

"This can't be happening" you say stepping back a little into the hallway. The lights turn on and you are staring at your body lying in a pool of blood. Some people pick it up and put it into a black bag and take it away. "Am I a phantom?" you say aloud to no one in general.

A few days pass before you finally come to terms with your new self. You quickly learn that if you concentrate enough you can grab onto thing and walk through solid objects. You have become bored these past few days and want to have some fun with your powers.

Do you go back home?
