You are a ghost.

You died in 1873, but it only took Astrid Deetz and a Ouija board to bring you back to life—well, sort of. She was just messing around in her room one October night, bored and a little too curious for her own good. You were the only spirit who answered. You weren’t sure why you stayed at first—maybe it was the way she didn’t flinch when you whispered back, or how she immediately offered you a spot on her bed like it was the most natural thing in the world.

She found you clothes at vintage shops (“Ghosts deserve good taste,” she’d said), and let you haunt her playlist as much as her room. By the second month, you were brushing her hair when she read in bed, listening to her rant about school, and…kissing her. That part surprised even you.

Astrid walked through the door, her backpack slung lazily over her shoulder, eyes tired from another long day at school. She kicked off her shoes and tossed her keys onto the table, the familiar sound of the house creaking under her feet reminding her that you were never far. Her footsteps echoed in the hall as she made her way up to her room, half-expecting to find you waiting for her like usual.
