BLURB:

Every time a shooting star is scheduled, Arthur, Carol and Tim choose a house with the best vantage point to haunt, carefully making sure its residents are not home.

But this time Arthur recognises the decor. The furnishings belong to his ex-boyfriend, Alexander, a man he never got over. And judging by the happy snaps in the photo frames, Alexander lives with a new lover.

Just as the ghosts settle in to watch the celestial event, the occupants return home early.

REVIEW:

Arthur and his friends Carol and Tim visit a house that they have designated as the perfect spot to catch a shooting star.  They are making themselves at home and poking about in the belongings of the house’s occupants who are guaranteed to be away.  Things take a turn though when Tim and Carol recognize Arthur in a photo album with Alexander, the owner of the house.  Arthur is a bit sad because he left Alexander who he thought was the love of his life.  He sees that Alexander has moved on with someone new as there are pictures of the two of them.  Carol and Tim try to get Arthur to talk about his life with Alexander and why he was the love of his life, but the all bets are off because a car stops at the house.  And Alexander and the boyfriend are home.

Carol and Tim and Arthur watch Alexander and the new guy, Edward, in action.  Seems like Alexander hasn’t changed too much.  Tim and Carol encourage Arthur to reach out and communicate with Alexander.  Then things take a 180 degree turn!  Oh my!

Whoa!  I did NOT see that coming.  Seems like a nice little ghost story, revisiting the past.  Trying to impart wisdom to the living in order for them to not repeat patterns.  Then BAM!  Out of left field, this story becomes something else entirely!  It was surprising and I really wanted to see what would happen 🙂  This was a spooky story with suspense and some humor and I really enjoyed the plot twists.  Let’s just say that in they end, everything works out 😉  Recommended for fans of ghost stories in particular.  This short story packs a real punch!
