Sunday Serial: Giving Up The Ghost Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13: The chapter wherein Hero has a temper tantrum.

I found Jenny sitting on the backsteps, smoking. She’d quit years ago, but I knew that sometimes she still had an occasional cigarette – usually after having to deal with her family.

“Jen,” I sat down next to her, “He’s gone.”

She took another drag off of her cigarette, “I know.”  She stared into the yard.  “Sorry about all of…

Chapter 9: Hero makes difficult phone calls and learns that Aunt Dee had more secrets than previously guessed. Strange phone calls infest Hero’s day.

Chapter 4: the chapter wherein Hero goes to the late Aunt Dee’s home and discovers important papers and is threatened by a vile burglar, but is rescued by Detective Kyle Smyth.

Chapter 3 (Giving up the Ghost)

Chapter 3: the chapter in which poor Hero becomes an orphan, and once again meets the distractingly handsome Detective Kyle.
