THE GHOST IN LOVE

A SHORT STORY _ ( FICTIONAL)


If emotions can be turned into words, I don’t mind bleeding whilst I write down my heart on paper. I have grown to love you all my life and I can’t live without you; in fact, I won’t live without you. I only wish you can love me a little, I can actually live with it. I love you so much, Ken. It’s me again Andy and this is definitely the last note I will be writing to you, Love.

Ken was about to tear the paper when his wife Grace walked in. It’s from the same secret admirer, right? Let me read it (Grace asked)… You are a lucky young lady that this is the last note will be writing to me, I would have dealt with you if another should arrive (Ken murmurs as he hands the note to his wife).

Ken is a married man with 3kids. It’s been 6years of his married life and Andy has been writing to him every single day for the past 1year, of course, he didn’t read all the notes… AT the back of Andy’s note was “I will end it again today, if you can’t love me even after all these years and intense words from me then I don’t wanna live, cos am talking my life out of love”.

Now Ken was really frightened, Grace as well. Darling, this is getting out of hand. We need to find this Andy right now before she does anything stupid. She’s been writing to you for more than a year now and never for one day did she relent. I think there’s something wrong with her. She needs help.
Ken – Baby I wish we can find her. I don’t even know her or where she lives. I have never seen her before not to talk of been familiar with the name; so there’s no possible way we can actually get to her or track her. Let’s just report to the Police in case anything happens to her, let them know we are innocent.

A few days later a corpse was released. A lady who died by poison with a suicide note on her left hand which reads: “Again I died for love. Love, KEN, I will be back”. On seeing her face, Ken recognized the face of a ghost that appeared to him on several occasions both in his dreams. But spirits don’t die Ken muttered. “No” a voice from nowhere replied. “We die only when we are in love, and this is my second ghost death”…

CULTIVATE SUCCESS IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE

“HERE’S TO THE BETTER YOU” Set boundaries with others. Advocate for your own needs. Be caring towards others, but don't accept abuse from anyone. Remember, being a good person does not mean you have to take violent or disrespectful language or actions from anyone. ·          Respect the boundaries others set for you, too. Listen to your loved ones when they tell you they need space or want to do something alone. 1. Change your perception. Many people, when faced with a tough scenario like losing a job, look at their life with despair. I lost a job years ago. It was the hardest thing, up till that point in my life, that had ever happened. I was lost. I finally realized my choices were to let the challenges and frustrations of the past dictate my current feelings and behaviour, or learn from the situation and realize what potential I have in my life. You can change your perception by trying to fi...

TIME MANAGEMENT !

Manage your Time... One of the most effective skills you can have in life is powerful and effective  time management . If you're not managing your time well, there's no way you're going to reach your goals at work and the life outside of it. Sure, you might make some progress. But your time management will be an uphill battle if you don't take your time seriously. For people who squander and waste the precious little time they do have, they know all too well how difficult achieving even mildly difficult goals can be. The truth is that time is the greatest equalizer in life. No matter who you are, your age, income, gender, race or religion, you have the same amount of time as the next person. Whether you're filthy rich or dirt poor, your time is the same. It's not about how much time you have. It's about how effectively you  manage your time . So if you're serious about achieving your goals, not only do you need to set those goals the right way...

IDENTIFY YOUR PASSION!

What do you want your legacy to be?  Passion is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. (The “thing” you’re passionate about). Passion compels you to take risks and push yourself past your current limits. It could be a hobby, injustice, art, sports, public speaking. Anything you feel strongly about. (Including things you can’t stand. Intense dislike of something is also a kind of passionate emotion and can drive you to create something new.). It doesn’t matter. If it pulls you and fills your thoughts, or makes you come alive, then it’s passion. Passion will inspire and encourage you even when you come up against challenges. What I’ve found in life, is that it’s our passion that directs us in the best possible course f...
