ghost

I've always wanted to be a ghost; ever since a young age, the mere prospect of going unnoticed and unseen from people has always sparked a speck of curiosity in me.

Not because I particularly want to go sneak into movie theatres, or play pranks on my friends and then laugh at them.

No, that's not what really drives my desire to be hidden.

Not being able to talk to people, cause they can't see you?

Golden.

Standing up for class presentations, ordering something from a till, speaking on the phone. It's all nerve-wracking, and I would rather not have to partake in that sort of stuff.

So, granted, when I finally do get invisibilty powers, it's an overall happy day for me. I spend the first hour lounging around without a care in the world, listening to music and writing notes for school.

The next hours are dedicated to going to school, which means I have to at least show my face — turns out my powers enable em to switch it on or off whenever I desire — but after that? It's complete ghost time for me.

I don't know when the gift of invisibility will wear off, it might last for only a day.

I'm not too disturbed about when it'll go away, and I only want to focus on staging my absence today. Maybe I'll go for a nice walk in the park, without having to meet others eyes.

Maybe I'll buy something without fretting over people watching me blunder like a fool.

Maybe I'll just go sit in a library and read for hours on end.

I don't really mind, since I usually am sort of a ghost. Nobody really notices me, anyway, even though a small part of my mind niggles at the thought.

If I can't see them, they can't see me.
