The First Ghost
“I hit the snooze button and wiped my bleary eyes.
“Oh no, you don’t,” said Corinne. “You promised me. First thing in the morning, you said. Remember?”
I rolled over. She’d learned a new trick and now hovered directly over my bed. “Get out of my bedroom.”
“No. Get up. We’re going to my apartment to see what Ruth has done with Billy. Get up, lazy bones.”
I groaned. I had promised to visit Corinne’s apartment on the way in to work. I’d called my boss to see if I could get another d...ay off, but her attitude was that if I was well enough to be released from the hospital, I needed to come in to work. She didn’t outright threaten me, but she hinted darkly about the amount of work piling up on my desk.
Fortunately, Corinne’s apartment was reasonably close to mine in Canterbury Park, just north of Dallas. It would mean a detour of several blocks in the freezing cold, but it would be worth it to rid myself of being screeched awake by a cranky ghost.MoreLess
