Marielle: The Anonymous Ghost

My parent's will

Ghost are spirits of humans that have died yet they haven't passed away from earth. I'm a ghost, but I never died. I was born a ghost. You may wonder how is this possible, well let's start from the beginning. It's all my parents fault. They were murdered on 1935 by my mother's husband from the living world. My father was her lover. They loved and respected each other that's why they were going to wait for my mother to divorce for them to be together. But her husband was too proud to let her go. One day he confronted them and reclaimed their lives with a gun for the sake of that being the end of them, without knowing that he had begun something greater.
When you become a ghost it's because one of three reasons. One: you weren't supposed to die yet; two: Your purpose wasn't fulfilled; or three and most common of all: you have regrets. Not all people that die become ghost, it requires a big amount of will to neglect death. My parents had it so they became ghosts.
They wondered the earth for years looking for the way their love could overcome everything. Both learned how to survive the spirit world, all the rules, and consequences of breaking them, but they couldn't find a solution for what they desired most. Until they learned a secret that would awnser their prayers. Unfortunately I can't tell you the secret because I don't know it myself. But somehow they were able to gain a physical appearance. With it they simulated a normal life to start a family. They got married in the real world, got a house and did what was supposed to be impossible: give birth to a baby. That could have been a happy ending, considering all the trouble life put them through to finally be a family. The only problem was; the family only lasted one night. By the morning my parents were gone to the after life, and I was left alone. I may have been a newborn, but I remember that night very well.
A group of ghost that lived nearby and were friends with my parents that went to celebrate my birth ended up adopting me. I cried for days, they told me, before they could put me to sleep. I was born a spirit just like them, though they believe I had a physical body when I was born and then transformed into my spirit form. My childhood wasn't a happy one but it wasn't a sad one either. To be honest I liked my adoptive family and I will always love them dearly. Still, I had an empty space in my heart.
