Chain Story

The kids screamed, the corpse of their father had not moved all these years, the cadaver never rotting, always looking like he was just sleeeping.

At this realization, Richard woke up. And then the kids really screamed.
"It's okay! I guess I was in a coma this whole time." he said. "Let's see, I need to remember things again... Your name is..." He pointed to the children. There were three girls and a boy and they are twins, but someone had taken the liberty of dressing them in identical white gowns and hairstyle so it was impossible to tell them apart. "Francis, Karen, Sammy, and Sylvia." He pointed to the wrong ones so they corrected him. Then he pointed to the woman, who he now believed was their mother. So why was it that he didn't remember her name?

"Who are you pointing to?" Francis asked. "There's nobody there."

Richard shook his head. "I swear, I saw--"

"It's not funny, Dad," Francis insisted.

The woman was still there, and her name was on the tip of his tongue. Why wasn't her face clear? Why couldn't Richard remember her?

"Mama's dead," Sylvie said. "She died in the accident. Aunt Gracie's been taking care of us, but she left to get us pizza before you woke up."

"It can't be," Richard whispered. The love of his life was gone. He would never truly see her again, and yet, he wanted nothing more than to be rid of the specter that wore her face.

"Fine if you don't want me here, babe, I'll leave. I fought tooth and nail in the underworld to return to watch over you and the kids from the otherside, but like everything else, you always act first, think second." The spectre said with a huff, then turned to leave the room.

The specter had secretly caused all it had visited to have appendicitis. There is a price for meeting with the dead and unnatural. Oftentimes it is a curse, how does your side feel at the moment? Even writing about such a specter has caused my right side to hurt despite having an appendectomy. For you who have been reading this so far, I wonder what other prices you will pay. I wish you a fast recovery too. The specter realized that their curse had triggered and cackled. Its face turned into Richard’s.

 

[Lookbehindyou]

Richard clutched his side in pain before realizing he already had his appendix removed due to complications years ago.

 

[ElijahRyne]

His children however were crying in pain.

 

[ViktorBloodfallen]

For they too witnessed the appendix be slain.

The mad specter leered as she tore into Richard once more, half-torn pages fluttering lifelessly to the floor like so many discarded butterfly wings. "Next, my pretty, I'll have your indexes!"

 

[Lookbehindyou]

Richard laughed. "Indexes? You sound just like my exes! Now, begone before I punch you in the solar plexus and send you to Texas."

The specter paused for a moment. "Wait - are you just going through the Table of Contents on me? In rhyme?"

 

[ElijahRyne]

“No.”

 

[DismaiNaim]

"Think!" He cried. "Eva! It's me, don't you recognize me? Your special 'Dolphy-Doo-Doo'?
"What?" She screeched. "Impossible!"
Then she looked in the mirror and saw in the reflection, the reincarnated spirit of her long lost love. "But why did they give you a body of someone so..."
