It came Back!

Karma came Back.

She came back!!!!!!

I Remember the thing we all did last summer.

I want desperately to call my partners-in-crime...

but I can't move.

Everyone is still searching for Maree.

Well, she is back. Her ghost is standing by my bed...

right now!

I can't move...I am paralysed.

I remember the night like it was yesterday.

God! She is just standing there...staring at me

Old rotted seaweed clings to her hair and body

putrid water drips onto the floor

she stinks - it's the many months of being dead.

We were arguing about a stupid job promotion

standing there by the edge of the cliff where we hiked

I pushed her, not intending to hurt her....but the cliff

Oh my GOD. It was an accident!!!!

Maya, Jacki and Mazee helped me wrap her broken body in blankets...

Weighted her body down with stones. Hoisted her into the sea.

Wicked...wicked deed.

Karma...it is a boomerang...it always returns -

I must have fainted...for I woke up by the edge of the same cliff

Wrapped up and weighted down with stones...

Oh, dear God. Can ghosts influence, move or manipulate matter

Does Maree have the power of psychokinesis

Did she bring me here...all by her ghostly self

I am done for.

What came back is not Maree...is it?

I will never know.

I feel myself falling...falling...falling.

Yes...Maree came back.

For revenge!

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD, THANK YOU!!!

I awaken in a cold sweat...

my clothes drenched in sweat

There are foul smelling footsteps on the floor

Trembling, I call my friends...they rush over

"I am going to confess. I can't take it anymore".

They turn to look at each other.

They were expecting this. I'd been losing it for months.

They were accomplices...

Couldn't let that happen.

Karma is a bitch! For now...

I am at the bottom of the cliff. Broken. Dead!

"It was an accident, she went too close...we heard her scream".

"I understand, you all have my deepest sympathies.

So sorry for your loss". The kind faced officer told them.

The hypocrite murderers were sobbing...

and looked so beautiful and pitiful.

MEN!!!!! Suckers for a pretty face or two.

Karma.

I am a pissed off ghost now.

And I am coming back for them.

Karma is a Boomerang.
