Poor Margaretta - she’s always had it so rough. At least, that’s what everyone at Church used to say. Poor, poor Margaretta. Well, Margo doesn’t go to Church anymore, doesn’t go by Margaretta (an ancient hand-me-down name from a great-so-many-times-over-grandmother, no thank you), and doesn’t think most people would even look her in the eye now, let alone pity her. She’s not really sure if it’s better or worse than before.
But, maybe they were right - maybe she has had it rough. Watching her grandfather die at the age of 8? Pretty rough. Starting to see things, like her grandfather walking around just days after his funeral, or hearing the whispers of people who are supposed to be long dead? Yeah, she’d say that was rough. Going to see countless doctors, getting diagnosed with early onset schizophrenia at age 13, trying every kind of medication under the sun to no avail? Really, really rough. But maybe they didn’t know the half of it - because ‘rough’ doesn’t even begin to describe her junior year. Not when the voices led her to walk in on her classmate being murdered, and not when that led to a psychotic break so bad her parents chucked her into the nearest mental institution with an opening. That wasn’t rough. That was Hell.
Starting her junior year over again isn’t really a cake walk, either. Between getting picked on by her ex-best friend and scrambling to save up for college, the only solaces Margo’s got are playing drums for Dingoes Ate My Baby and hanging out with classmate, bandmate, and crush friend, Daniel ‘Oz’ Osbourne. But when Oz starts dating a new girl, things start to get weird - and Margo can’t help but get dragged into the middle of it all. Again.
At least Margo knows she’s not crazy. Not about the ghosts, anyway.
