Even though she could communicate with these so-called spirits, my Nana Elsie encountered a series of unfortunate events some days preceding her wedding.

Submitted to Contest #100

Not to sound so cliché but it turns out, just like in most homes, Christmas is the most pleasant holiday of all. There is a lot to eat, there is everyone to laugh and talk with, there are presents to exchange and presents to open, and exhilarating of all is… it’s the only time of the year Grandma Meg doesn’t find weary to travel all the way to our home. Oops… I think I forgot a detail – who Grandma Meg is. Grandma Meg is my mum’s mum’s best friend from high school days – they schooled at the same school, graduated on the same day, got employ...
