Right, let’s get down to business…

It

Author: Scriblit

Blurb: You lose three mates, ten babies, both parents, all your siblings and then every friend for scores of millennia and still entertain the concept of being ‘sweet’ on a dead woman still consumed by her own pain.

Doing It never had much meaning to Robin, even when he was alive. Now that he’s dead, it’s really just something to while away all the years. At some point he’s asked most of the ghosts if they want to do it. Some said no, some said yes. His only rule is, they have to genuinely want to do it, too. And, they mustn’t be too sad. One of the ghosts was too sad, for so long, so he waited. And waited.

Description: Over the years stuck as a Ghost, Robin propositions the other ghosts when he first meets them, except Mary who is too sad. You wouldn’t think this description would be of a heartbreaking story of loss, and the pain of years stuck in one place unable to even touch anything but your fellow ghosts. But that just goes to show, never judge a story by its initial premise.

Special Mention: Oh God, Robin’s speech to Julian at the end. ‘I was in tears’, does not put justice to the state I was in after I read this.

Warnings: Mentions of violent death, the loss of children, and other adult matter. Also Julian, he’s a warning all by himself.
