A Spooky Story

There once was a boy named Jeffery, but all his friends called him Jeff. Jeff woke up at 7 o’clock on a Tuesday morning and got ready for school. Jeff was walking to school when all of a sudden at 7:27 he tripped on a rock. He fell face first on the ground extremely hard. Blackout. At 3:30 that afternoon he woke up in a hospital bed. He saw many translucent ghosts clouding his vision. All the ghosts were whispering things like “We’ll always be here,” or, “I’ve come to haunt you.” He could barely see or hear anything that was going on around him. He could see both his parents and two nurses crowding around his bed all with concerned looks on their faces. His mom had a single tear running down her cheek. His dad had a very serious but concerned look on his face. Both the nurses had straight faces. Once they all noticed that Jeff was awake, they crowded even closer. His mom put her hands over her mouth and started crying. His dad’s expression suddenly changed to a happy one. Jeff's parent's took him home and for the rest of his life, he just had to deal with all of the ghosts.
