my neon ghost
October 28th, 1965
Slumber party
Six preteen girls
They are telling ghost stories
They have tales of horror to share
No one will be sleeping tonight
I see a neon ghost in the corner
He puts his fingers in front of his lips
To shush me
I do not feel terrified
I feel intrigued, and excited
We discuss my future plans
After the others finally drop off to sleep
He might have been my guardian angel
I am unsure
All I know is,
That he made me feel safe and respected
Although I have never seen him again
I will never forget him
He is my hero
Encouraging me to visualize my future
