The Eight Bodyless Ghirl Ghosts with Measles Fleeing – A Short Short Story #4

girl ghosts 2

Chapter 1 – Urgent Care

They had made themselves up for a night on the town but when Margie came down with red dots on her face they got worried.  They went to the bar and by the time they finished their first drink Beth and Bonzai also had red dots.  They went to Urgent Care and the doctor saw all eight of them.  He was nervous because he had never had eight people, much less eight bodyless girl ghosts, in one examination room at the same time. It was crowded and they all had on a lot of perfume.  Daphne was a bit drunk and tried to kiss him but smacked the needle dispensing box instead.  He diagnosed Ghost Measles and sent them to the pharmacy to get medicine.

Chapter 1 -Phloating at the Pharmacy

Prudence had the biggest balloon (girl ghosts travel by balloon when they are going out in big groups) so they went with her to the pharmacy.  It was deserted except for an old guy reading women’s magazines, which they thought was creepy.  They had to wait 15 minutes for the medicine so 4 of them floated aimlessly while 4 of them went back to the magazine rack.  Being bodyless they have no hands so they just hung around behind the old guy and looked at the French Vogue he was perusing from behind his back.  They liked the editorial of the man and woman wearing masks and underwear.

Chapter 1 – Quarantine 

The pharmacist told them that ghost measles was reaching epidemic proportions and that they should leave the city if they could to avoid infecting other ghosts.  The decided to go to Jordona’s grandgirlghost’s summer home at the lake and wait there.  Luckily for them Prudence’s balloon did not pop until they were almost there.  This is a drawing of them floating down from the balloon and landing right at the front porch of the house.  They stayed there for 8 days and it all went fine except for Penelope’s melt down over running out of mascara.

The End

A Short Short Story about Ghosts

The 13 bodyless girl ghosts tried to get in the beach club but the doorman wouldn’t let them in. Though they were very pretty, they didn’t meet the dress code.  They pressed up against the club window and watched everyone inside dance the night away. That made them sad and they cried a lot.

They later went home to the bodyless girl ghost bunkhouse and talked about how they had to figure out how to get bodies.  Their plan got as far as the question, ‘Who do we know who doesn’t have a head?’ before they fell asleep and dreamt of having to pee.

The Seven Drowning Pundits

The Seven Drowning Pundits,
Said what they should have said.
They talked and talked and talked all night,
Until their tongues were dead.

The Seven Drowning Pundits, 
They knew what was to be.
They hit the notes and sang the tune,
Until they had to pee.

The Seven Drowning Pundits,
They enjoyed the fleet of fame.
They just didn’t realize,
That they were the ones to blame.

The Seven Drowning Pundits,
They wanted to be right.
They barked and howled at the moon,
Because it was so bright.

The Seven Drowning Pundits,
They smelled the money big.
They ate at it’s trough and barely coughed,
As they wallowed with the pig.

The Seven Drowning Pundits,
Last seen not making a sound,
Disappeared late that night,
The rumor was they drowned.
