This is my post for #freewriters Thursday prompt ghost of the other woman hosted by
She sat alone, lost in her thoughts. There was activity in the house, but she was supposed to be alone. There has not been another ghost in the house for 113 years. She was afraid, she had never been outside of the house and no one has been inside for the last 88 years. But someone was here, it was another woman, she could smell her scent.
She was longing for company, another woman would be so nice to have in the house, but what if she was evil?
She watched her every move, wondering if she was friendly. She was sure to not be in any room that "she" was in. She had heard many stories of ghosts that do not want other ghosts moving into their home. She was afraid to approach her. The world was getting too crowded, more people are dying and some of us ghosts want to live like we did when we were alive, not with other strangers. But what if she is evil?
They managed to avoid each other for 17 years, both afraid of the other, until one day the new ghost decided that she had been watching long enough to know the other was not evil. She took a deep ghostly breath and floated into the room with the ghost of the other woman.

The house is over 100 years old on Fort George Island, they say it is haunted.
