Ghostly Liaisons!
I LOVED ghost stories when I was growing up. Devoured every one of them that I could get my hands on. And when I lived in Florida, this was my home--right here--in this story--the swamps, the canal, the Banana River...even attending Merritt Island High School. We lived near the restaurant where the Flapper era ghost resides, only I didn't know about it when we lived there.
No ghosts that I know of, truly roaming the swamps. No murders committed. But the place, the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes, the drunken bus driver (literally), who looked like he was on a prison release work program, the bullies---yes, they were real. :)
I didn't include the REAL ones in the story. But...they were real.
I often explored the swamps, because my parents wanted us outside--it wasn't healthy for kids to be inside all the time. Right. Little did they know where I went when I was forced outside.
Not through the woods to grandmother's house. No wolves. Through the jungle-like swamp...the snakes, the alligators, the quicksand...oh, my... :)
So come and join me if you dare... :)
