Owen paused in his work at rubbing the pain from his toes. His head remained where it was pointed at his feet but his eyes rolled upwards looking around the room. He thought he might have heard a bit of laughter or something like it. He laughed again shaking his head. He couldn’t believe he was getting sucked into old ghost tales.
Getting so sucked into them that now the wind had started to sound like laughter.
Except then his water glass fell from the counter.
It surprised him. He jerked away from it with a shout of fear and glanced fearfully around the room.
“What the-”
Blonde brows pulled together over his eyes. Owen pushed himself up and walked over to where the glass had rolled under the counter and stopped against the baseboard there. He bent and retrieved it. Holding the glass up, he gazed at it. Looking through the glass bent the world around him.
He made a ‘humph’ sort of sound and put the glass into the sink.
He found a dish towel and mopped up the water.
“If there is a ghost here, I don’t know what I did to piss it off. I fixed up the old piano. Played some good tunes. Had a little party here with a pretty girl. I’m livening up the place, alright?”
Now he really was crazy. Talking to some maybe ghost.
“That’s the thing about ghosts, they gotta torture perfectly random people over shit that happened forever ago, you know? Where’s the justice?”
What was the point of such philosophical rhetorical questions? There was no one there. But Owen was the type of man who would totally try to debate a ghost.
