Her Human Friend...

 ‘Nina, why are you sad baby? It’s your birthday!’
‘Mamma, Ria can’t come and join the party.
‘Why?’
‘She is afraid of us.’
‘Why baby?’
‘Promise you won’t tell Papa about this.’
‘I promise.’
‘Mamma, Ria is my best friend. But she is a human.’
‘That’s not funny Nina! There’s no such thing as humans.’

  6. Hi Sayantini,

    Now, that was spooky, from the point of view of ghosts :) :) :)
    Brilliantly thought out and executed. This was a nice and short read.
    Keep it up :)
