“What’s so freaky about How to Spot an Aspiring Vegetarian?”
“It’s mostly, but not restricted to, the vegetarian part. And it’s impossible for you to advertise more effectively that you’re not one of them, a Backwater Bay native, than by writing that column for their local paper,” claimed my brother, Stephen, over the phone.
“But vegetarianism is huge! There are two hundred and twenty million vegetarians in India alone!”
“That’s India. Not Backwater Bay.”
“Your point being?” I asked.
“You’re alienating your client base for your store with that column. And what the hell are you doing in Backwater Bay anyway?”
“That’s Black Currant Bay,” I said, “and for your information, Stephen, I’m perfectly happy here.”
“In an apartment over a shop? How are you ever going to have the kind of success Debbie Travis has in the design world if you keep playing in the minors? Move back to the GTA. It’s not like Karl never enforced the law here in Toronto.”
“You’re sounding just like Dad,” I said, slumping in my seat.
“Come on, Dad was a tyrant,” he pointed out.
“And you think I’ll find my happiness by following your road map,” I said. “Anyway,” I bragged, “I picked up a fabulous new client yesterday. Beatrice Small wants me to stage her house. It’s not selling because a murder occurred there three years ago and potential buyers are afraid it’s haunted.”
Very entertaining, and nicely written. It was fun to guess at who the ghost was, and to discover the reality. Congratulations - you kept me interested all the way.
Good story. I liked that Rebekkah Green just might be a little crazy and has her mother's ghost with her. The ghost was typical of some mother and not much help. I would like to have seen more dialog tags especially at first. It was a little confusing for me at the beginning.
I'm so happy to have your feedback. Thank you Nancy and Harley.
