It was a solitary night as two strangers appeared beneath the lamp post of the platform.
Small halt, with very few passengers waiting for the lone train.
The two strangers eyed one another curiously, and soon the first one yearned for companionship and friendly conversation. “I think I need some words with you.”
The second stranger breathed deep. “No chance of the train’s early arrival!”
Soon, they became friends. The first stranger asked, “May I ask you an unusual question? Do you believe in ghosts?”
“No.”
The first one huffed in frustration, vanishing into the murky darkness, where only shadows remained.
Nice, I wasn’t expecting that
I enjoyed this. I’m not a fan of ghost stories but this one worked for me.
Nice twist to the ending.
