Oh, no. Something was terribly, terribly wrong. All his life, Michael had tried to distance himself from the paranormal. He valued the ordinary and never sought to stick his nose in places it didn’t belong. But now Luke had him thinking that it might be cool to participate in one of his ridiculous EVP sessions.

They tell you all the time that life isn’t fair. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past twenty-eight years, it’s that death is even less fair. It’s the one thing in the world that doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care who you are, how much money you have, what you’ve done in life. It can come for you any time it wants.

Don’t interrupt me. I’m on a soapbox. As a disembodied individual, I think it’s time that we had some new representation. Like that one book series that Kate was telling us about. Remember that one? The one where the hot human girl falls in love with the ghost who haunts her bedroom? We need more of that in our society.

Why do I get the feeling that this story doesn’t have a happy ending?” JT asked.Because stories that result in a haunting rarely do, Kate thought to herself. Someone always dies. Someone is always left behind. Someone is always caught between worlds.

What? You think that just because a woman doesn’t have a heartbeat, she can’t make a man fall in love with her?
