Things That Go Bump In The Night...

If you’re worried about-
Things that go bump in the night and that is what is keeping you up, then Bump Back!
Seriously. Become friends with a ghost. Not an angel. Angel means messenger-
Western Union of the Heavenly Host?
Candy-gram?
Singing- gram?
Telegraph with Telepathy?
Nah, I want someone who used to worry about things in life like I do. Not a ’spirit’. But a ghost. Not a Pooka, like Harvey, the 6-foot spirit Harvey of the movie with the same name, starring Jimmy Stewart. Not an ‘entity’, someone who hasn’t ‘moved on’ because of a traumatic death. No, I’m talking about someone who sticks around because…well, because they kinda like it here. Someone who has actually LIVED this life and know what a bitch it can be. Nods a sympathetic if not a spectral head when you mutter under your breath about tax sheltered annuities, general elections and finding enough toilet paper, plastic cups and bottled water during hurricane season. Familiarity. Life itself.
What if this time on Earth is like a bus stop? A way station? A rest stop on the interstate of soul progression? Instead of hauling ass in their journey of soul development, they stop here. For awhile. Load up on snacks. Get souvenirs and maps and freshen up in concrete bathroom stalls. And in the meantime, they help out. Hang out in the corner of your bedroom, eating ‘Cinnabons’ and ‘Popeye’s’ chicken and make sure nothing bad haunts you at night. No Freddy Krugers, Chuckies, clowns named ‘It’ and bogey mans of the past disrupt your sleep.
For me, knowing the good ghosts are watching over me is worth waking up and finding the occasional Taco Bell wrappers and sporks on the floor.
Hot sauce anyone?
