An odd daily fic this time

[bjornwilde]

 The house was empty and he stood in its echoing dimness. His children were all grown and moved on, to college or their new families. His wife had picked up what pieces she had left and moved on to a new life. The furniture was gone, the halls empty with nothing but the stains from old lives left to be cleaned.

When the new family moved in, the little girl would refuse to enter the living room until the day he moved to the corner so this new family had more room to live and fill the empty spaces left. He sighed and waited, hoping angels would come for him soon.
I have no idea what this is but it's all mine for once.

Wow that is impressive, sad and creepy at the same time. Poor ghost of an old man -- he is really trying not to haunt them or intrude on their lives.

Thank you! I think it spun out of that ghost and guy who lived "by himself" comic that was on Tumblr a while ago.

The one with 'Miss Ghost'? Oh, that was sweet.

[bjornwilde]

That was it. And yes it was very sweet. = ]

Oh ow, this is beautiful and sad.

I may have to add more later as I think the ghost needs to make friends with the little girl. New family for the win! \o/

Echoing Maru's comment. I got a bit of a chill.

Always lovely to see original fiction. :)
