The Last Ghost
Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Paul,
It\'s like reading those headstones, Unknown, RIP and their ghosts, no one to mourn them, no flowers on their graves, a club, as it were for the unknowns and now sadly, a new member. I found it to be awfully sad, five lonesome souls in an awfully good poem. Well done.
Fond regards,
Tony.

I liked the pacing on this one Paul the slow line for line delivery added to the tension and gave the last line more power. The mystery of who these were remains to hold the poem in the mind of the reader. Nicely done

Hello, Paul,
Is Britian that bad, that virgins are fleeing to the brothels of Europe. You really got me with this one, the opening half being so dark and then; what the hell is going on here. I wonder has Brexit got anything to with the flight of the virgins. Well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Paul, I should have known you weren’t going to let that sinister opening behave itself for long. 😂 The Black Angel storming off in disgust finished me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a damn funny verbal sparring match here, because the inflated language keeps crashing into the bloke’s gloriously literal interpretation of everything, especially the way he translates “subjugate,” “propensity,” and “sententious” straight into sex and body talk. The ending is the keeper for me, because the barmaid/owner revelation suddenly reframes the whole conversation, and “you’re an entrepreneur” becomes the perfect deadpan excuse for getting the hell out of there.

Jesus, Paul. 😂 From “Sounds like insurance to me” to THAT ending. I should\'ve known better than to trust anybody dressed entirely in black who rings the doorbell to Rule Britannia. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, Paul,
A great story and great storyteller you are. The narrative and dialogue holds the reader\'s interest to the very last line - \'Im not selling anything.\' Brillant! Very well done indeed.
Kind regards,
Tony.

There’s a damn good supernatural twist here, because the story starts like a quirky doorstep encounter and slowly turns into a carefully constructed bargain where saving your own life means unknowingly sacrificing someone else. The final reversal is the killer—“I’m not selling anything” coming from the dead husband’s door turns the opening scene back on itself and makes you realize the cycle of soul-taking has only just begun.

I have notice Paul some people are soulless they can be told by their taste in music. If they don\'t like the blues they are soulless. A fun read my friend It seem that I remember this one from a while back. I have dusted a couple of mine off as well changing a word or two. Loved it my friend made me smile.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this is fucking intense. What got me was the shift from wanting revenge to realizing revenge would just give the bastard another way to occupy her life. Then that little bit of humor creeping back in feels like the first glimpse of herself returning. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
