“Transition”
By Scott L Vannatter
____________
Herrall remembered the horrible noise and the feeling of flying.
He had felt a terrible impact at the center of his back and his head, but only for a second.
He also remembered seeing the large vehicle blur as it left his field of vision.
Now, he felt light and free. His body (no, not his body – he was looking at his body), his spirit(?) was slowly rising from his body and he could see it lying there, not moving. He could also see the license plate number. He smiled. Who would he tell? And what good would it do?
____________
Namaste,
Scott

I guess you get super-vision when your spirit leaves your body. How else could he read the license plate number? One thing’s for certain, I’ll sleep better tonight knowing Perry is on the case. Good story, Scott.

Perry to the rescue!

How much can a ghost do?…Well if you believe in the movies… “Ghost” – the one with Whoopi Goldberg, or how about the one with the kid who ‘sees dead people?’ I think Harrall has more than half a chance 🙂
Uh, oh…the parimedics are coming they might just bring Harrall around and then…if he can only remember….’Thump, Thump!’
Thanks for the visit and the link. Very helpful. Please thank Indria for the photo.

Very original and enjoyable read.. Love it Scott, What Perry said, I’ll check in with my guardian angels and ask for their advice on potential spiritual interactions with living humans. xx

Never thought of that. Perhaps a job in the police department for Ghost Whisperer? 🙂
