Aditus, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. As far as revealing what had happened to our ghost, it was the quickest and easiest way I could think of to reveal the events. As far as the sentencing, this is a Halloween tale, so what better day to extract justice? Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback, Myiege. I've had one other person suggest the same thing, so I'll consider the suggestion. Thank you again and I'm glad you enjoyed this story.

Happy Birthday, Rustle! It's time to party, so have a super day!

Not sure how Kansas ended up with college basketball, seeing there are several other states that I feel have a stronger claim, and I'm not sure why Georgia got tennis. Trust me, I don't see a lot of rackets or tennis courts in the area, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.

Chapter 2 Over the course of the summer, Jacob and I became close. It turned out we had a lot in common, including that we were both gay. That particular discovery came purely by accident, when our neighbor, the ‘Faginator,’ passed by one day. He yelled out some really rude comments to Jacob before he disappeared, but once he was gone, Jacob broke down. I guess this wasn’t just an isolated incident. A couple of tears even escaped down Jacob's cheek as he began talking to himself.

James, I'm surprised you didn't have the Falcon doing a nosedive. lol

A Mustang Jet Ski for outer space. I love it. lol .

This should have been included in our Fall Anthology, because it sounds as if it might open its own Pandora's Box.

Good grief. The Giants and the Falcons are down for the count. Is this Denver and Peyton Manning's year to stroll to the Super Bowl?

I'm so sad. My Braves bit the dust. Now I know what the Cubs fans feel like every year.

Thank you for the response. I'm glad you like it so far.

Thanks, Aditus. I felt I needed to find a humorous way to conince the father that something paranormal was happening, to make Ryder feel better. I'm glad you enjoyed that part.

Happy Birthday, Paya! You're almost half way to me now and getting closer every year. Have a great one.

Hey, DaddyD, I'm glad you like this story. True, you can never really escape the bigots, but at least now there aren't so many for him to deal with. Soon, you will be able to test your theory about Dirk's father.

I'm glad you enjoyed the setup and it will all be wrapped up soon. I hope you like the way it turns out.

Chapter 1 “Hunter, Ryder, and Savannah, would you please come in here,” my mother called out. “Your father and I have something we’d like to talk to you about.” By the way, I’m Hunter, Ryder is my eleven-year old brother, and Savannah is my six-year old sister. After hearing our mother call us, we all rushed into the living room to see what was so important. It wasn’t often that our parents wanted to speak to all three of us at once, probably because of the age differences. “

Hunter Benjamin is gay and has had a rough time at his school in Texas. Unexpectedly, his father announces he has accepted a new job and the family will be moving to Maryland and explains they will live in an older, remodeled home in the suburbs. Once they get there, Hunter discovers a boy who used to live in the house was killed back in the 1980s and now haunts the property. How will Hunter and his family cope with this situation?

Happy Birthday, Daithi!

Hello. WL used to be a dog. I guess I still am.

The glasses are pretty much the same, since that's what Ginsberg wore, but the wand is definitely different. What more can I say? lol

I didn't care for most of the Glee renditions of the Beatles songs, but when it comes to the Beatles, I guess maybe you had to have been there at the time to appreciate what they accomplished. If you go back to the pre-Beatles days and look at rock music, it had a good beat, but for the most part it was a lot of repitition. You can look at some old songs, like the Chuck Berry songs, you'll recognize the same tune a lot of times, but he just used different lyrics. The Beatles transformed the genre. The went through a series of reinventing themselves. They started out with a basic rock format, but then they grew and diversified. Even though some of it may have been drug induced, the used a variety of musical instruments and different influences, like Eastern music, and all the other groups of that time ended up doing a lot of the same things to compete with them. It was a fun time, when you didn't know what they were going to come out with next.

I used to argue the theological basis of their argument, but I soon learned my grandfather's advice had been correct. You cannot argue or reason with someone who is convinced they are right.

Happy Birthday, MJ!!! I hope it's a great one!

WL, I've written a ghost story for Halloween and it's ready to post, if you want to include it. It's just over 9700 words, so let me know,if you want to use it, otherwise I'll just post in in my section. Thanks.

My first take was that the grandfather took a photo of the letter before he sent it, so he'd have it to show his grandson or others later.
