2024.05.14 08:06 Numerous_Okra_3883 Sa cheater ko na ex: Thanks for hurting me

Hello, kamusta kayong lahat? Medyo mahaba po itong ikukwento ko sainyo. Tungkol sa ex ko na 4 years kami (Tawagin nalang natin syang W). By the way, I am 24F and 25M naman sya. Nagkakilala kami nung college, same school magkaibang course nga lang. Nagmatch kami sa T šŸ”„- dating app kasi pinatry ako ng mga kaibigan ko eh ako uto-uto tapos di ko naman expected. Sa una syempre masaya kami. Hindi ako kagandahan pero sya chinito na maputi. Idk nga ano nagustuhan nya saakin eh.
During our 1st year na magbf/gf, okay naman sya. Siguro kasi 1st bf ko sya. Hindi pa ako marunong ng mga redflag redflag na yan noon kasi first time. Puro lang kasi ako crush crush nung college. In short bulag ang ate mo kasi inlove. Unang napapansin ko sakanya na akala ko normal, nahihiya sya na makita ng mga blockmates nya na kasama ako. Hindi naman ako ganun kapangit. Tapos naman napansin ko pag nasa mall kami napapalingon sya sa girls yun talaga nagalit ako sabi ko nakaka-bastos sa part ko eh ako marupok pinatawad.
Nung nagpandemic na, nagstart na sya mag-iba ng ugali. Meron pa akong nadiscover meron syang addiction sa p()rn. Yung 365 days nakailang ulit sya kasi nakita ko sa history ng account nya. Nadismaya ako kasi hindi ko alam na meron syang ganun side kasi nung mga previous years okay naman sya or baka bihira kami magkita kasi busy sa schoolworks? Nangungulit din sya magpasend ng video ko or pictures na nud3s pero ayoko talaga nagagalit sya bina block nya ako. Akala ko normal na tampuhan yun redflag na pala. Naalala ko pa nanunuod kami TV lumabas si Ms. Catriona Gray sa isang show sabi nya saakin "Kung ganyan kaganda GF ko buntis agad yan sakin ihi lang pahinga. Joke lang" nagtaasan balahibo ko sa sinabi nya sabi ko "G@go? Ano ba sinasabi mo? Saka sa itsura mong yan papatulan ka nyan?" sobrang inis ko kasi sakanya kaya ganun sinabi ko.
2021, una akong nagka-work saamin. Actually for experience lang kaya ako nag apply bilang JO kahit 6k sahod sabi ko okay lang wala pa naman ako ginagastusan. Kaya simula nung nagwork ako spoiled sya sakin, food, damit, or anything na request nya na afford ko binibili ko kasi mahal ko at tanga ako eh. Dumating sa time na nakaipon sya ng marami kasi binibigyan ko sya 500 or 1k depende sa budget ko monthly yan. Kada lumalabas kami sabi nya wala sya pera edi ako na naman taya pero marami sya ipon ayaw lang gumastos naintindihan ko ulit yun kasi alam ko wala sya work and nagrereview for board exam. Hanggang sa napapansin ko lumalala ang mga luho na umabot sa point nagka-utang utang ako mabili lang gusto nya at takot ako maiwan diba ako si tanga?
2022, dito na gumuho mundo ko. Mid-July right after my birthday I noticed na merong active reactor sa posts nya sa FB. I stalked the girl, hubadera and single mom. Nagduda ako and kinausap sya. Sabi ko "Hi kilala mo si W****?" Grabe kabog dibdib ko kasi alam ko something is wrong I can feel it. Sabi nya yes we're fubu. Grabe as in grabe gulantang ko nanlamig talaga ako di ako makapagsalita nakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo. Sunod sunod na iyak ko. Hindi ako nagkamali sa pagdududa ko. Sabi ko "I see kelan pa?" sinabi nya date and yun yung time na panay hingi sya sakin ng pera it turns out pang check in nila ni single mom and sabi ko "GF nya ko 4 years na kami" di nya raw alam na may GF ang sabi raw kasi "single na 2years ago".
Kinalma ko sarili and nagpasalamat pa sa honesty ni single mom. Chinat ko bf ko and sinabi ko lahat sakanya and ginaslight pako at nagalit na walang katotohanan lahat na sinabi ni single mom. Tinanong ko sya "bakit mo nagawa yun?" sagot nya sakin "Eh kasi nagsasawa na ko sayo." I'm so confused and lost di ko na alam. Durog na durog ako, I mean lahat ng kabaitan, pagmamahal binigay ko, suporta lahat and eto lang ipapalit saakin?
I ghosted him pagod na ko ayoko na. Blocked sa lahat ng soc med, deleted his number and started to move on sabi ko sa sarili ko tama na. After a month, narealize ko isang araw lang pala ako umiyak na malala, kasi kami palang nagmomove-on na ako. Hindi ako natrato ng tama, puro pala ako beg ni isang regalo wala ako natanggap sakanya. Gabi-gabi ko sya iniiyakan nung college bukod sa acads. Puro trauma dinulot nya saakin at problema and hindi ko narealize kasi mahal na mahal ko sya. Nung nakawala ako sakanya parang nawalan ako tinik sa dibdib naging peaceful tulog ko. Mr. Mechanical Engineer napatawad na kita, I'll take it as a blessing hindi ako marunong magtanim ng sama ng loob. Niligtas ako ni Lord sa kagaya mo. And ngayon, I'm so contented na sa buhay ko masaya na ako. Nagagawa ko na mga gusto ko. And si single mom? Last na balita ko sakanya ka-date nya yung classmate mismo ni Ex ko.

2024.05.14 08:01 Valuable-Belt-2922 Are the marks correct?

I was gonna fail but i passed chem.i had previously failed chem in preboards. Same case with my frnd he failed chem in pre boards and then passed chem boards
But then guess how many students out of 17 from our school got compartment Fucking 9 . Out of those 9 four of them failed in 2 subs. Majority of them failed in chem theory followed by math and phy and some idiot failed in physical education.
But the problem is that how can more than 50 % of the students of a school fail in a sub or two. And some of those 9 students are literally good in studies.
Some girl got 4 in phy. Is it possible.shes good in studies. Even if we assume she didn't study still how can anyone get 4? U can get more than that alone by tukkabazi from the 16mcqs .
Another girls who got 87%ile in jee mains got 26 in maths .1 marks less she would have failed it.and she is literally topper.
Then there is another boy who always had 36years pyq MCQ book for neet failed chemistry he got 15
And during the physics exam when not a single topper took an extra page one girl took extra pages and that means she oviusly wrote more than 30 to 40 pages guess how much she got just 23 .while I barely wrote 20 pages and somehow managed to get 34. I mean who even takes extra pages even after cbse answer sheet which already contains 30 pages or so. I don't know what she wrote in those 30 or 40 pages and just barely passed.
This is the wrost year of results so far I have seen .and school will never show the results of all the people and just rant about the guy who got 95 % Do u think the marks given are not correct?

2024.05.14 07:56 sogay4u My parents are just too much

So yesterday board exams came out . I didn't know because my father took my phone with him(I don't know why) and I woke up late. My bestie called me and told me that results are out so I checked my result on my mom's phone. I got 87% and got scolded by her which I deserved. I called my dad from my mom's phone and told him the result and he was happy and it and congratulated me. At about 2 when he came back he assured me that I scored good. Then I got a call from by bestie on my mom's phone ( my phone was in my dad's office switched off) that all the students have came to school with sweets and meeting teachers, and asked me we should go too. I asked my dad if I can go he totally denied saying kya karna hai jaake, tumhari dost ke 75% aaye hai vo kyu itna kar rhi hai jaane ke liye. I didn't say anything as I don't expect than to let me go ANYWHERE. Me and my bestie have been making a plan to hangout to a mall, play on trampoline there, eat something and come back and our one more female friend would go with us . I asked him in evening about this and he totally denied. Ulta daantne lag gye. Maine kaha aap hi chor dena aap le lena bas hum teen ladkiyan hai. He shouted on me and kehte abhi toh Agra hoke aaye hai(Mera Mann bhi nhi tha). Before you say itna toh sabke karte hai , they have NEVER allowed me to hangout anywhere even with only girls boys ka toh sawaal hi nhi hai . Main almost ab college main hu muje laga ab toh kahi jaane denge. Par nahi school bhi nhi jaane de rhe teachers ko mithai Dene ke liye ki tumari dost ke 75% aaye hai usko kyu itni Khushi ho rhi hai. I have always seen my friends hanging out with eachother but I have never spent any time with my friends other than school . Aakhri baar main apni bestie last board ke exam main mili thi. 10th Main kehte the 12th main jaane denge . Ab 12th bhi ho gye, result bhi ho gye admission bhi ho gya fir bhi nhi . Mera kabhi boyfriend nhi Raha hai na koi hai aur na hi maine kabhi koi aisi har harkat ki hai ki unko Shak bhi ho. Ek 11th main tuition thi school ke paas Jana pe main padti bhi thi aur friends bhi the par ek baar paas ke ek book shop pe apni friend ke saath gayi thi toh unhone woh bhi churwadi aur colony main koi tuition lagwa di . They don't even let me go to to a shop with my friend. Meri ek friend apni friends ke saath Amritsar gyi hai aur baaki bhi saare bacche kahi na kahi gye hai par sirf main hi hu jo kahi nhi Jaa sakti. I cried a lot last night ki kya reason hai ki Ghar se nahi nikalne dete aur kyu nhi nikalne dete and I got my eyes swollen this morning. I don't know mere hi parents aise kyu hai . Kyu mujhpe itna Shak karte hai and more thing that I forgot to tell that I'm almost in college and I still have to submit my phone at night to my parents.

2024.05.14 07:52 Adytaksang How will my 12th board marks affect my future?

When my 10th boards got over in 2022, everyone told me my marks didn't matter. I scored 96.6 in 10th.
Now when my 12th board results are announced, everyone is saying that it matters a lot. Bc 12th mein hi kam aaye hain.
I got 87.8% aggregate with 92% in PCM. Will it matter during my job interviews or if I want to pursue MBA from iim or any top tier abroad B-School like Wharton or Stanford?

2024.05.14 07:28 Intelligent_Lie_841 need a recommendation

Can anyone recommend me a book where the protagonist is a girl and is solving a mystery with her group of friends in a small town or boarding school or whatever and it has a romance sub plot. Keep in mind that I've already read A good girl's guide to murder, the naturals, the inheritance games and truly devious already, so none of that please. And no historical fiction.

After that item, we have a couple of items that anticipates more discussion.
6.1: Lot 12 Affordable Housing Development - Supplemental City Funding and Project Modifications As part of a Request for Proposals (RFP) process on May 19, 2020, the council selected the team of Related Affordable and Alta Housing to develop Lot 12 into a 100% affordable housing project. The project includes 120 units, with a mix of affordable units for households earning between 30% and 80% of the area median income, including 20 rapid rehousing units. The Developer faced a $36 million funding gap due to high construction costs and insufficient state funding. To address this gap, they proposed securing tax credits and bond financing, modifying project plans to reduce costs, adjusting unit income levels, and adding units for intellectually and developmentally disabled persons to qualify for additional County funding. Additionally, to defer more of the cost, staff is recommending council approve a temporary street closure on Bryant Street during construction and a city contribution of $5 million.
6.2: Potential Revenue Measure for 2024 General Election Ballot The Council is considering a revenue measure for the November 2024 ballot to improve infrastructure, fund affordable housing, and mitigate climate change. The Revenue Measure Ad Hoc Sub-Committee recommended a property transfer tax initiative based on polling results showing initial support above 60%. This tax would apply to property sales over $5 million, raising approximately $9.5 million annually for the City.
6.3: AB 481 Military Equipment Annual Report and Policy Adoption As part of police reform efforts, AB 481 aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and oversight regarding the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local government officials. Law enforcement agencies are required to prepare an annual military equipment report and hold at least one community-engagement meeting for public discussion. The bill also mandates that local agencies must review and renew the ordinance and report at a regular meeting of the City Council.
If you have any questions or comments about the upcoming meeting, please email me at emily.ramos@mountainview.gov. You can also email the entire council at city.council@mountainview.gov.

2024.05.14 06:58 BlackP- Surprised to see the BC conservatives polling well

I was shocked to see how well the BC Conservative Party was polling recently. It's been all NDP, Liberal, then back to NDP my entire life. I'm sure the fact that they have committed to NOT touching the abortion debate has helped... along with the gender studies in public schools and the current government's stance of hard drugs.
I'm curious what North Vancouverites are thinking... Would you consider voting conservative in the next election?

2024.05.14 06:49 Spidester Player Defeated Strahd in Ultimate Revenge Arc

My party did their final battle with Strahd and his defeat was one of the sickest ā€œhow do you want to do thisā€ moments ever.
Context: One of my playersā€™ backstory is he fought Strahd hundreds of years ago only to be bested by the vampire. However, due to circumstances surrounding his death, his body instead became soulless and wandered aimlessly for centuries before finally being drawn to the current party (ā€œinvisible hand of fate,ā€ Madam Eva says; plot devices, amirite?).
Sure enough, the partyā€™s destined final battle with Strahd arrives and both sides are prepared. Party has the sunsword, holy symbol, and I empowered the Tome of Strahd to give advantage against Strahdā€™s spell saves to the attuned character (as per the well-known one-shot version). However, Strahd will not be fighting alone as he has summoned zombies, vampire spawn, his bat swarms, etc. LOTS of monsters on the board but a well-rested, well-prepared party can handle it. And it was EPIC! Guts fly, monsters litter the castle, player almost dies but Death Ward is clutch!
Finally, Strahd is on the ropes and I elect to turn him invisible and have him travel through the walls. However, he was not anticipating that the man he defeated centuries ago would be the one to destroy him. It is my playerā€™s turn and he is under the effects of Enlarge and happens to have the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind active with sunlight. He hears Strahd enter a hallway within his movement range and books it toward him. Despite being invisible, Strahd is hit twice and his HP falls to 0. His tomb was invaded and destroyed by the party in a prior session. So alas, Strahd has nowhere to go.
ā€œHow do you want to do this?ā€ I say.
My player narrates: I pick him up with my enlarged hand by the neck and with my other hand, I put the still sunlit Holy Symbol in his mouth.
After centuries of aimless wandering, his character finally got that sweet taste of revenge as the body of the one who caused his hundreds of years of desolation crumbles to ash and dust!
My table goes wild. Barovia is freeā€¦
PS: this player is 9-yrs old and this is his first game ever. I did change and bend rules, not to mention our house rules, when it was to the benefit of the atmosphere but otherwise played quite clean. I hope he remembers it forever.

2024.05.14 06:47 Waste-Ad6787 My 10 year old said I donā€™t deserve to live

We are trying to figure out if she has something going on but because she is totally dysregulated when she gets angry. No diagnosis yet.
Since a few days she has been calling me dumbo and poop when she is angry. She doesnā€™t swear. Thinks itā€™s bad to do so. She realizes later and calms down.
Today she called me trash and lazy because I asked her to switch off tv. I didnā€™t answer anything after that. Then she saw that I had a link to a boarding school open my phone. Itā€™s a school where my colleagues son goes and I actually thought about it for a few minutes. Itā€™s a very good school. It was an irrational thought but I considered it at that time.
She uses my phone to text her friends. Thatā€™s when she saw it. She got pretty mad. She called me those names again and then said I donā€™t deserve to live. She also said someone should take my tongue away so I can never speak. She said I was lazy, I donā€™t do anything around the house and there is a reason why people donā€™t like me and I donā€™t have friends. She got sent to her room. After a while dad went to talk to her. She claims that Iā€™m lying and twisting her words. She is not violent and when sheā€™s fine, sheā€™s very gentle and loving.
Tomorrow is her schoolā€™s open house and I think the punishment would be that I will not attend it. My husband probably shouldnā€™t either. She is super excited about it. We were too. We wonā€™t have time to talk about it in the morning. Iā€™ll go to work and planned to go to the open house directly from there. I feel hurt by the things she said. She may have a PDA profile. I donā€™t know. But my husband and I are very involved parents. May be I am childish, but I am hurt and I donā€™t know the appropriate punishment for this.

2024.05.14 06:32 IinAnxIety Ortho vs. Opportunity?

hey, any advice would be appreciated
recently i have been presented with an opportunity to attend a boarding school, which is incredibly exciting, but due to some reasons i decided to defer my admission by a year- so as long as i keep up my grades and my teacher reqs come back well then i will be saved a spot for next year.
context is that i hate my smile. i have an extreme overbite, overcrowding, etc. its something i have always been insecure about. i am now in a time where i am able to start orthodontic treatment, however this is where the dilemma comes.
i cant just leave halfway to move. so my options are either to stay where i am and basically leave that opportunity to pursue treatment here, or 100% commit to the school and wait to do treatment over there.
im not 100% about going yet and i thought since i will be deferring that gives me a lot of time to think, but it doesnt make sense for me to delay my treatment and end up staying either way since its better to do it ASAP and if i wait too long i may need surgery due to my severe case.
any advice would be appreciated, idk what to do. thanks

2024.05.14 06:24 dedecoolasffr I keep seeing the same guy every year.

(im writing this on my phone and on a throwaway so i dont care about any grammar or spelling mistakesā€¦ sorry!!)
So, I (19F) feel like I'm going crazy because I've been seeing the same guy every year since the 6th grade.
He transferred to my elementary at the end of the school year, so I never got to know him.
For the 7th grade I went to a charter school that was also pretty obscure, miles away from my elementary and only had about 500 students from grades 7-12.
Imagine my shock when I see this guy in my class two months later... weird! But okay... maybe it's a coincidence? I go through my 7th-grade year and transfer to a junior high! Don't see him anywhere, so I'm thinking I'm finally free, right? Wrong... he transfers about six months before school ends... okay, getting a tiny bit weirder now!
Keep in mind, I've never had a conversation with this dude, but he's literally everywhere???
So after junior high, I move onto high school and proceed as normal! Don't see him anywhere for two years until one day I'm taking the bus back home... why is he in the seat right next to me, y'all... I'm flabbergasted at this point. Like, it's been four years... so after that, I'm thinking to myself, 'Surely this can't be a silky coinkydink, right?'
I get over my newfound paranoia and go to college last year, right? Why, out of the corner of my eye, do I see this man AGAIN boarding the bus I was going to take... now I'm actually tweaking out because why is this happening? Iā€™m just wondering if heā€™s thinking the same thing as me? Am I insane??? Like, I'm so confused...

2024.05.14 06:13 73RnivaG First year off-campus housing suggestion

Hi guys, Iā€™m an incoming freshman at Sauder next year; Iā€™ve been looking at the housing stuff. I already filled in the on-campus housing form two weeks ago, but Iā€™m also looking at off-campus housing because Iā€™ve been living in a boarding school (in the US, New England, middle of nowhere) dorm for about five years now. I am really not a fan of it (too restrictive, not much freedom, not much personal space); also, maybe off-campus is cheaper?
So I just wonder if I could get some suggestions for off-campus housing, like where can I find apartments (Iā€™ve been looking at east of UBC that area I see pretty good bus connections?), and how can I find a roommate.
Thank you so much! Please, any advice would be super helpful!

2024.05.14 05:57 Misfit-for-Hire Misfit's Sober Songs #191 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Sober Song #191
I Still Havenā€™t Found What Iā€™m Looking For - U2

The weather is warming up where I am. Weā€™re moving toward summer, things like school and fiscal years are coming to a close. Days are getting longer. I think all that contributes to the resurgence of my usual sense of restlessness. I donā€™t know what it is or why, just that it is there nearly all the time. An ever-present feeling that there is SOMETHING else I should be doing, but I canā€™t figure out what. Itā€™s one of the feelings I tried to drink away because itā€™s so maddening. I donā€™t think itā€™s a person, as this song suggests (ā€œI have scaled these city walls / These city walls / Only to be with youā€). I think my desire for a partner is more like a wish to have another person to help me figure it out. Nor do I think it is religion (ā€œI believe in the Kingdom Come / Then all the colours will bleed into one / Bleed into oneā€), though sometimes I envy people who have religion to lean on. It hasnā€™t been getting college degrees, any of the jobs Iā€™ve had so far, buying a house, or traveling abroad. I spent most of my therapy session today on this feeling, but never managed to come up with much. My therapist claims to believe that enjoyment of life is enough and I really wish I could get on board with that. I donā€™t NOT enjoy things in life. I visit friends, go to concerts, attend parties, take trips, help others, listen to podcasts and books, and meet new people. But somehow, when Iā€™m done with each of those things and itā€™s quiet again, all that crosses my mind is: now what? ā€œI still havenā€™t found what Iā€™m looking forā€.

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for
But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like fire
This burnin' desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for
But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still runnin'
You broke the bonds and you loosened the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for (x4)

If anyone once had this feeling and managed to resolve it, I really need to hear from you before it sends me inpatient. IWNDWYT <3

2024.05.14 05:51 skyeky_ [M4A] A Friendly Spirit Haunting Your Apartment Needs Your Help to Pass on [PT1] [Bittersweet] [Ghost Speaker]

The listener accidentally calls on a surprisingly polite spirit, and the listener tries to help him pass on
Monetization is okay! No major changes to the script though, if you are wondering about something in that regard please feel free to message me! Let me know if you intend to fill this script and leave me your channel so I can keep an eye out, or post the video and send me a link! Always super happy to see people's hard work! ^-^
Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Scene opens with some ambient spooky music, and the sound of a ouija board piece scratching on the board, writing something out. Some sort of sound like a phasing in or out of energy or something as the ghost appears]
Ghost: Oh- uh, hello there!
[Sound of the board and piece falling on the floor, followed by a thud]
Ghost: Oh, Iā€™m sorry, I didnā€™t mean to scare you! Are you alright? You didnā€™t hit your head, did you?
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Huh? What do you mean who am I? You already asked if anyone was here! I said yes, and then spelled out my name for you! Remember? This just happened! Maybe you did hit your headā€¦
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Oh- well how did you think it was moving on its own then?
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Magnetsā€¦? Sorry, no. There are probably some spirit boards that are fake, but this one is genuine! It was mine, a long time ago. I was hoping youā€™d find it eventually when you first moved in here.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Yes, this was my apartment. This was my room, in fact. I was glad you were the one to end up sleeping in here and not your roommate. You seem more in tune with the other side. By the way, love the decor! Some of it is definitely mine, I was glad you put it back up! Most people donā€™t decorate their rooms with the possessions of long deceased inhabitants that they found in storage boxes in the back of a walk-in closet, haha. I used to live here with my mom, Iā€™m guessing when I died, she couldnā€™t stand to take some of my things with her. She was superstitious, so she never liked ā€˜occultā€™ related things. Although turns out she was right, so I guess she earned an I told you so. Too bad she left before I could get her to notice me. Most people canā€™t perceive me at all, and well, no one lived in this unit for a long time.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: How did I die? My my, thatā€™s an awfully forward question. To tell you the truth though, I donā€™t remember. The last thing I remember is watching tv in the living room, but I donā€™t know how much time passed between my last memory, and my death. I know for sure I died here though, I havenā€™t been able to leave this place. I havenā€™t even been able to go out into the main hall.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Ah, itā€™s not all bad! I can still turn the tv on, so thereā€™s that at least! Uh- sorry, a-about your power billā€¦ Ahem anyway, I seem to have this weirdā€¦ attunement I want to say, to certain things. I donā€™t know how it works, electromagnetic waves maybe? I didnā€™t pay much attention in high school science. Or- high school in general, really.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Oh, I donā€™t know why Iā€™m still here. Unfinished business, I guess? I donā€™t know, most spirits are angry, vengeful psychos because they got murdered or something. I donā€™t even know how I died, and life wasnā€™t all that great either, so I donā€™t really have anything to be angry about. I mean I miss my mom, sure, but I know my grandparents would take care of her, and she has some brothers and sisters and really great friends.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Aha, no, no girlfriends. No boyfriends, either. No friends, at least not close ones. No one to really miss me, besides my mom. Iā€™ll admit, it does get a bit lonely from time to time.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Youā€¦ want to help me? Well- thatā€™s really sweet and all, but I donā€™t even know why Iā€™m still hereā€¦ where would we even start?
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: When did I dieā€¦ Iā€™m not totally sure. My sense of time isnā€™t great anymore, maybe twenty years ago or so? Things have changed so much, at least what I can see from the window. Iā€™d say a long time.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Obituariesā€¦ thatā€™s not a bad idea! At least gives you a place to start! Are you-... sure you want to help me with this? I feel like Iā€™m putting you out, I only wanted to talk to you and say hello, but youā€™re going out of your way to do something kind for me.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Well, okay, if youā€™re sure then, thank you! Just one question- how long are you going to leave the creepy music playing? Iā€™m not spooky enough to warrant that. Am I?
[Music stops abruptly]
Ghost: [The ghost laughs] You totally forgot about your mood ambience, huh? Do you like music? I did too. Not too many good ghostly radio stations these days though, hahaā€¦ but anyway! I think youā€™ll be able to see me from now on, I sense some sort ofā€¦ connection with you now through the spirit board. As long as nothing happens to it, I think youā€™ll be able to see and hear me from now on! I donā€™t think your roommate will though, so that probably works out for the best.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Thank you, so muchā€¦ I actually feel kind of hopeful about not being trapped in this tiny apartment for the rest ofā€¦ well, forever. I finally have a chance. That means a lot to me. I thought you might not be afraid of me, given your apparent interest in spirits, but this is even better than I could have hoped for.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Iā€™m glad to see youā€™re so enthusiastic, but donā€™t you think you should be getting to bed? Your schedule on the fridge says you work at 7 tomorrow, and itā€™s past 11.
Listener: ā€¦.
Ghost: Of course! Iā€™m dead, not blind! I can check your schedule just as easily as you can! It was nice knowing when people were going to be here and when they werenā€™t. Iā€¦ actually paid really close attention to it. Alright, no more distractions! Get to sleep, or youā€™ll be totally exhausted for the first day of our investigation tomorrow!
[Listener turns off a lamp and gets into bed]
Ghost: Goodnight. And againā€¦ thank you. Youā€™re committing more time to me than I deserve.
