You have this friend since elementary and after college the both of you never talked to each other anymore. But she is someone special to you, and you are special to her too, five years later you receive a phone call from her. "Hi Michelle I'll visit you," she said. "Hi Leah! When?" you asked her. "Just wait for me," she replied. It seemed weird but you prepared for her coming. One rainy night you heard a knock on your door. And you are surprised to see your friend Leah. Losing touch for five years is long so both of you talked about everything...both of you went to your room upstairs. Suddenly, there was a brownout. So the two of you talked by candlelight. Then the phone rang. "I'll just get the phone downstairs" you said, since there is no other phone upstairs. "No, don't get it, we are in the middle of our girl talk," she said. "Okay if you say so, but promise me you'll be back" she said. So you promised her a million times that you would be back. Then you ran down and answer the phone. "Hello" you said. "Hi, is this Michelle?" the person on the phone asked. "Yeah" you said wondering who it was. "I called in behalf of Leah's family, they had a tragic accident and her parents are in the hospital right now," he continued. "And Leah?" you asked forgetting that Leah was upstairs "She's dead." He said then hung up. You slowly put the phone down and look at the long stairs... WOULD YOU GO BACK AS YOU PROMISED?

well that is definitely a weird situation, because if you are talking to leah and you know it is leah because you know what she looks like yes I would go upstairs, but how did the person know to call you about leah's parents in the accident? maybe I would just call the police from downstairs and ask them what to do.

come on, i am sure michelle would understand if i just call out to her and tell her that hey michelle, i know you came to visit me... but please don't scare me... i cannot go back anymore as i am afraid of ghosts... etc... he he perhaps that's what i will be able to say before i ran out of the house and wait for a companion.
