Freelance Contractor

Freelance contractor I’ve been a ghost for centuries. Qualified by experience. No diplomas or degrees but plenty of self confidence. Although I died quite suddenly. Beheading does not take too long I just accepted readily the choice of sides I made was wrong. I lived my life as best I could like other men I made mistakes. And did not do the things I should One wrong decision all it takes. Although a failure as a man. I am a most successful ghost I do the very best I can Although I am not one to boast. I take a pride in what I do I can appear and disappear (I’m one of the accomplished few) to fill a humans heart with fear. I’ve haunted stately homes with pride I’ve walked abroad without my head Through solid walls I quickly glide I am enjoying being dead. Alive I earned but small respect in fact nobody noticed me. But now in my ghostly aspect. I’m treated most respectfully. Some day I know I must move on but I can feel no urgency. Although my dearest friends have gone. A ghost is all I want to be. I’ve been a ghost for centuries. I find it suits me very well. I do exactly as I please The skills I have I freely sell. 26-Oct-07
