That’s one way to do it, Jayne mused. She supposed that bluntness was probably their best option in this case, as they had already been caught staring at the woman.

“Yeah, thanks,” she answers before giving Ethan a nod.

“He seems pretty nice,” Rage notes with a grin. J.C. only shrugs.

“Well, we can sit around and play on our phones, or we can figure out what the effing universe wants with a bunch of strangers who just so happened to want to go to the same place.” She took a good look at the van. “Think she knows something?”

“Okay, I know I said ‘cosmic B.S.,’ but this is getting a bit too coincidental. I mean, it’s not like all our flights were cancelled, or something, right?” She looked around at the others.

“Yeah, some kind of cosmic B.S.” Her phone buzzed but it was just a reminder to practice playing. Jayne scowled and dismissed it, shoving the mobile angrily back into her jacket pocket.

“Concert?” she asked after a breath. “What do you play?”

It was nearly an hour before Jackie ended her search, finding a frog, though she couldn’t touch it. She smiled at the frog and decided to name it “Bounce.”

“Do you want to be my friend, Bounce?” she asked, clapping when he croaked in reply. “This is going to be so much fun!”

The frog merely sat on his stump and stared into the distance,… Read more

She raised an eyebrow at the boy before sighing. “It looks like,” she said. “Somehow my debit card is empty, so I’m broke and waiting for something to happen. Don’t know what, though.” She adjusted the violin case on her shoulder. “And you? What left you on the curb at the airport?”

Jackie waved goodbye to her companions and decided she should get up and move around as well. She floated around the trees and listened to the frogs and birds. A quick decision to find a frog gave her something to do with herself.

The elusive amphibians were even harder to find without her sight, but they were a nice distraction from her predicament.

Checking her phone, Jayne paid no mind to the girl near her. No new messages, no missed texts. She hadn’t expected anything else, only hoped that maybe this once someone would wish her luck. But the lack of a goodbye was hardly anything to get her spirits low. This was her decision, her life, and she was choosing something for herself… Read more

Jackie smiled at her companion’s mirth. “Tha’s neat.” She couldn’t actually see the skeletons, but she could sense their presence.

Jackie smiled at her companion’s mirth. “Tha’s neat.” She couldn’t actually see the skeletons, but she could sense their presence.

“I don’ think so…. I’m nine.” She thought about the question, though. Maybe she was older? She shook her head; thinking about that made her confused. “Skel’tons?”

“I dunno,” she mumbled. “I fell asleep for the doctor’s op’ration, and then I was flying.” She ran her hand over her head, which had been shaven for the lobotomy.

“Why?” she asked. Why would someone want to meet a ghost?

“Why?” she asked. Why would someone want to meet a ghost?

“I’m Jackie.” She chewed her lip a bit. “Um, can you tell me where I am?” Her eyes seemed to look through them, unfocussed, yet not dazed.

The kindness coming from Nova made Jackie smile in return. “I’m fine, I guess,” she answered noncommittaly. “Who’re you?” she asked the form next to Nova.

Jackie turned to Nova and waved slightly. She could tell the other girl had asked something, but wasn’t sure what it had been. A memory of the previous night sparked and she recalled Nova telling her she could reach her with her soul or something. She tried reaching to the other girl to establish the connection they had had before.

The morning saw no change in the young specter, who continued to think of nothing and everything. Cries left her lips at random intervals throughout the night, but nothing so violent at the day before.

She began to wonder where exactly she was, how for she was from home she had been taken. Maybe she could ask that Nova person who had spoken… Read more

Jackie felt Nova leaving, but stayed in her spot on the ground. She didn’t want to talk right then, but she would keep the offer in mind. She seemed really nice, Jackie thought. Maybe being dead wouldn’t be so bad. She could still make friends, it seemed.

But that didn’t matter to Jackie then, she just wanted to lay down and not move for… Read more

“I wanted to be alone.” She let her chin fall to her knees and breathed a sigh, shaking her head at how strange the action was without her actually breathing. Her bare feet dug into the soil around them, though she could barely feel it, as though they were just passing through the earth. She supposed they were.

Jackie started, not having noticed the other’s approach. She relaxed after a moment and turned in the direction of the other girl, though the light that meant she was human was… off, somehow. She wasn’t sure what to make of the person beside her. Jackie pushed the thought aside and answered. “I’m Jackie,” she said, her eyes still… Read more

((She is a ghost until someone tells me not to.))

Jackie had been floating for some time, gaping in wonder at the swirls of light that broke up the darkness she had grown accustomed to. She could tell that the lights were people, but to be able to see, she was ecstatic.

Some of the lights seemed to be moving more than others, and some seemed… Read more
