Mad Man Ghost Prowls: A Narrative Fiction

“Do you really think it’s haunted?” Millennium asked.

“Absolutely, just look at it. It’s so creepy and mysterious. Legends say that every morning at three a.m. a mad man ghost prowls around the property, and if he finds you, you die.” I say giggling at the end. Just then, thunder boomed loudly as lightning struck. Millennium screamed.
