How apropos! The Daily Prompt requests: Tell us a story — fiction or non-fiction — with a twist we can’t see coming.
Well, I’ll post a ghost story my 10 year old son made up in the car on Sunday (yes, lifted from my FB post I put up the other day)
Several people have told us that our son has an ‘old soul’ – I’m pretty sure it’s a soul of an old kvetching Jewish man.
He was making up a ghost story that took place in a drugstore (CVS) whilst we were driving in the car. And it went something like this…
Legend has it that a long time ago a lady went to a CVS drugstore to get some ‘medium’ Tylenol. She took it and it killed her…<a lot of other tangential ‘details’ that verbose 10 year olds add that I might have tuned out when driving in traffic>… Legend has it her ghost can still be seen today walking up to the counter to complain.
And that’s the story. Goosebumps, eh? You didn’t see that ending, right?

Lol. I was obsessed with scary stories when I was his age, but that’s hilarious. Like something out of Seinfeld. Oy vey!
Rohan.
He is like something out of Seinfeld! Thanks 🙂
Funny thing is he doesn’t like scary stuff – not like I did. But he likes to ‘tell’ scary stories but not watch or listen to them…he loves Halloween but not always the monsters.
I love that story so much! He ought to blog. He’s quite brilliant!
PS If it were MY ghost it would never go up to the counter to complain. ever. Instead my ghost would be writing ghostly passive aggressive letters of complaint from the comfort of my hot tub in hell.
Hee hee – that’s the introverted ghost for ya! The irony is he hates writing (the physical part) – but his verbal skilz-kilz!
Thanks for reading – he’ll be tickled!
OOO,wee,ooo
hee heee

YAY! Can he make me rich? That’s the vital question!
Well that’s a creepy one…
gooseflesh, right???

Loved it! He’s got one of the rules of fiction writing down: keep it simple. 🙂 And who hasn’t had to complain to the pharmacist at some point? Dead or not?…
Ha! Maybe he’s the going to be the published author in this family… 🙂
I read that a 13 year old just got a several-book contract with a major publishing house. No, I’m not jealous.
me either – not jealous at all (lying thru my teeth).
You do know this could be the beginning of a horror-like, suspense book, don’t ya, Ruta? I say run with it. 🙂
Ha ha – the kvetching ghost of CVS.

Another creative mind being shaped!
Or warped – it could go either way.
Haha…at least he’s imaginative.
Oh yes, definitely the sludge moves around in his brain!
Sadly, CVS employees are probably still ignoring her…
Ha ha ~ Oh El Guapo, I love your comments. Don’t ever change.
