THE PECULIAR

Darlene Erica Spencer, Erica for short is a strange girl. When she was 6 years old, her mother caught her talking in her room with a picture of her grandmother who passed away 5 years ago. Everyone thinks that Erica is weird. She goes around talking to herself as if she is having a conversation with someone. Her family started a business, where Erica will speak to a dead relative or a friend of their client. Her parents supports her and she is thankful for that, Thank God that the spirits are nice and not bad. Erica can talk to the dead or spirit or whatever you call them. Erica's PoV "May I speak to the spirit of the beloved Lance Mendoza" I looked at the window and air comes in making the candles in front me turn off. This is a bad sign. "What happened?" Our client Mrs. Mendoza said while crying  " Your son don't want to be disturbed, he is happy wherever he is" I smiled and ended the session. This business kinda suck because of my talent. Yes, my talent I can talk to the dead and the spirits out there.  Mrs. Mendoza waved at me at our door "Thank you, Darlene" I faked smiled I hate it when people call me by my second name, when she turn around, I rolled my eyes and went to my room . For anyone out there wondering how I got this talent, well I also don't know, I simply hear voices that I  could not see and speak to them. My parents doubted first but when mom saw me talking to grandma, they started to believe it. We decided to keep this talent a secret but one year later, my parents started a business, which is talking to the dead. I'm 6 years old when I hear voices and tomorrow I will be 18 and also it's the first day of classes. Our family business will permanently stop if there is school so I can focus more for studying. I lay down at my bed and a few minutes later I heard someone speaking to my ear "Good Luck for school, dear"  The voice sounds familiar  " Grandma is that you?" I asked the spirit and sat down at my bed  "Yes, this is your grandma" I smiled  "I miss you so much" I felt something at my back and it's odd, is grandma hugging me? "Grandma are you hugging me?" This is the first time a spirit hugs me, so this must be the feeling; cold, I got shivers "Thank you grandma for supporting me, I love you" I did not feel the coldness anymore, that means grandma is not hugging me  " I love you too, Erica I will always be here and will always guide you" Grandma's voice quickly vanish meaning she is not here at my room anymore, but I know she is guiding me up there. THE END  I hope you read it and have fun! Queen_LuzViMinda
