RE: STACH Short Story Contest #19: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SBD prize pool!
Joyce was a good friend of mine who opened a new grocery store by the corner of the town. Overtime this store became very popular and attracted the attention of a lot of customers. Soon bizarre things started happening.
I was a live witness to a few of these events on my second visit to her in Cape Town, South Africa. This kept me curious.
Every morning as she unlocked the shop, the first thing she does is to pick up the fruits and vegetables which have been scattered all over the floor. The oddest thing is that the fruits or vegetables are never bruised or damaged in anyway. If they were, she would never put them back. I personally observed there were no marks on them.
I was fed up with the suspense and thus voiced out my curiosity. Joyce explained that this has been happening for the past six years. She reported a black shadowy shape that hovered inside the shop and usually disappeared at human presence which people observed from the glass windows of the shop during the early hours of the night.
That really got me terrified. "Could that be a ghost trial?" I wondered.
Nice one girl. Are you from South Africa?
Thanks dear. I am not really from South Africa but i visit there from time to time. Why do you ask?
I have intentions of visiting SA soon.
I thought i was the only person who has seen ghosts...lol
hahahaha. actually i didnt see the ghosts myself, but i saw the bizarre works of the ghost(s).
Have you eaten from your friend's store before? How did you feel about the food now that you know the vegetables used in cooking were ghost infested?
You know that feeling where you want to kill yourself but you just cant...lolz. That was what it felt like actually. I felt like vomiting all i have eaten from her shop....but you know nah; it isn't possible.
lol. I know that feeling.
Nice one gurl. I stayed in Cape Town for a couple of years too, though didnt have any ghostly encounters there...lol.
Are you in SA at the moment? Thinking of a solid steemit outreach there in affiliation with @stach.
I am not at the moment. But i wouldn't mind taking a trip for such a great proposal you have there... Lets chat privately on discord for further updates.
Have my few cents @missglory. I wish to be a part of your steemit outreach with @prettyrose. You people should carry me along.
Buch of thanks @mrfelix for your few cents. About the meetup proposition from @prettyrose, we are yet to talk, but if it is going to happen, you shall be carried along. Lets steemit!
