After my attempted heart attack, I made my way back down the long hall and hurdled down the stairs. The doorbell rang again as I reached the end of the stairs.

Spencer: Hold your goddamn horses.

I said irritated. It better not be those pesky Jehovah witnesses or I swear I gonna throw a bible at their asses. I thought as I reached for the doorknob. I flung open the door and to my surprise, very happy surprise, it was Ashley. I smiled brightly at her presence. Normally I would be annoyed if someone interrupted me and whatever I was doing, but it was a pleasure to see her. Plus, I’m pretty sure she just saved me from getting my ass eaten alive by some demon ghost taking up house in my creepy attic.  

Ashley: Hi Spencer

She said and beamed brightly at me.

Spencer: Well hello Ashley

I said, not really knowing what else to say. There was silence as she stood at my front door and she shuffled on her feet.

Spencer: So you wanna come in? No ones home.

I said and she looked up at me. 

Ashley: Um sure.

She said and I moved aside to let her into the house. We made our way to the living room and sat on the couch. It was quite quiet but soon enough Ashley broke the silence.

Ashley: So how did you like your first night here?

She asked gesturing to the house. I scoffed.

Spencer: It was awful but if I told you, I’m sure you wouldn’t believe me.

I said smiling at her. She smiled back.

Ashley: Come on try me. What you saw a ghost? Heard a thumping in the basement?

She asked and I laughed.

Spencer: More like a repeated flashing light in my bathroom mirror and a loud banging coming from the attic.

I told her seriously and she raised her eyebrows.

Ashley: Really?

She asked and I shook my head in the positive.

Spencer: Yup that’s what I was actually doing before you rang the door bell. I was going up to the attic to see what it was.

Ashley laughed.

Ashley: Are you crazy? You’re in a house that may or may not be haunted, by yourself and you’re going to go check out the scary boom boom in your attic?
