I hate it when I finish a long day of work, and my brain is like, "you know what we haven't thought of enough? More work."

These ghosts in the corner look a lot like the ghosts a client mentioned earlier.

I must be hallucinating them.

"Look at this guy. He's wearing boosts, LMAO!" One of the ghosts quipped.

"He's approaching us. Act normal!" Another added.

"Why would we do that? We're ghosts. We're the definition of abnormal. We're out of this world," the third and final chided.

I walked right into them and out.

See. Hallucinating.

Wait...

"Hey. You three."

They rotated 180 degrees to look behind them, then turned back to the center.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"Yes, I'm talking about you three. You know I can hear you, right?

"They froze like they had just seen a ghost.

"I'm trying to rest. Can you please get out of my office?"

"You can see us!?!" One of them exclaimed.

"Yes. This is the "Ghost Medium Office subtitled 'I Can See All Ghosts,'" I explained.

They froze like they just saw a ghost.

"I told you to read the signs," Ghost one hushed to another.

"Well, don't put me in charge of directions! You know I was bad at that in my other life," the second ghost exclaimed.

The third was doing nothing in particular but ghostly things like existing and not existing simultaneously.

"Well..." I said. "Since you're here. Can you help me wrap up? I need to close the place down.

"The ghosts laughed with each other. "Us?" Said the first ghost.

"You think we'll help you? Over our dead bodies!"

"Yeah!" Said the fourth ghost.

The other three startled at the sound.

"Who are you??? Where did you come from!?!"

The second ghost exclaimed.

"You know. From the void, where all ghosts come from. I don't like odd numbers, so now they're four of us."

The ghosts nodded slowly, then resumed laughing obnoxiously.

My eye twitched. I let them savor the moment.

They'll see.

The next day, the ghosts were horrified to see their dead bodies hit the floor.

They looked like they just saw a g---

"WHAT THE HELL!" Ghost 1 exclaimed.

"You psycho..." Ghost 2 snarled.

Ghost 3 continued doing ghost things, like float and act spooky.

Ghost 4 dipped.

"Now you're bound by contract," I said, smiling victoriously.

"Now help me out. I got clients to take care of."

The ghosts looked at each other.

I was 3x more productive that day.
