Write a story about a ghost who haunts a haunted house.
Verity climbs the vines growing up the wall of the house rapidly as she tries to escape her current prey. He jumps up the ladder parallel to the vines and climbs it rapidly. He leaps from the ladder and captures a vine, swinging himself towards Verity.
They both fall towards the floor and Verity escapes his grasp and flees the monster.
Who or what was that and WHY are they chasing me? I've lived at peace in this house for years. My mother passed away in this house as did her mother. Am I next? Is it my time? Is this house ready for another generation?
The next morning, Verity awakes and starts her research, worried about what she will discover. She heads to the local library to read past news articles for Baten, Ireland. The local librarian seems to notice Verity and recognizes her face but doesn't say anything to Verity. After an hour of looking through the news clippings for the past 20 years of Baten, nothing. No real information to go on. Verity then sees the librarian and makes her way over to ask about the prior year's articles.
Hello, my name is Verity and I'm trying to find more information on my mother and grandmother who lived in Baten growing up. My mother left to Australia for a few years where I went through high school, but we came back to my grandmother's home when she was sick and have been here ever since. Now that my mother is sick, I am interested in learning more about my heritage. Do you know if there are more newspaper articles prior to the 20 years that are on the shelves?
Verity! What a beautiful name. Is your mother Evaline Rosewood?
Yes! That is my mother! How do you know that?
Her and I both grew up in Baten. I miss her and her quirky ways. I'm sorry she's sick. I think I can help you and I'd be delighted to.
What a curious encounter that was. Who is this lady and how does she know my mom?
