Ghostly

Ghostly I sold my house to a Moldavian family the drawback was they had two small children the house came with two ghosts as everyone knows, only children and poets see ghosts. The children were not afraid they even played with my dearly departed dog, it was just doing its the normal routine at night, securing every room at night; a thing it used to do before the transition. The problem started when the children told the parents they claimed I had not told them and demand the house sale rescinded. The dog is not the problem when it realizes its nightly inspection is not needed hiding objects behind the sofa is no longer amusing it will fade away. As for the mule, it is not going anywhere, the house used to be a barn and the living room a stable. It has been here 90 years, happily munching hay. You can even smell it on rainy days odour after a long day, pulling the plough. The estate agent told me not to worry about a court case involving ghosts is a lost cause. I wouldn´t mind if the dog came to the flat startling rats coming up from the sewer I have to flush several times? Before sitting down, and keep the lid firmly closed with a heavy object on top.
