22 - Ghost Beach
“But my feet felt glued to the floor.
As if the ghostly figure were holding me there, keeping me from escaping.
Terri let out a low cry. She bumped me from behind.
I think she had stumbled. But her bump got us both moving.
I took one last glance back at the pale, flickering figure. His bony frame shimmered in the eerie candlelight.
He started toward us, his mouth twisted into a strange grin. The dark eyes gazed at us blankly, like black buttons on a snowman.

“Noooo!” I screamed.
I shouldn’t have turned back.
I stumbled over a jagged rock—and went sprawling on the hard floor.
I landed hard on my elbows and knees.MoreLess
