Why do ghost stories still scare me? I know they aren’t real. Still, I psych myself out at the most random moments. For instance, I’ll simply be washing my hands in the bathroom. Then from the corner of my eye, I could have sworn I saw the shower curtain move. I stare at it hard,

Don’t know what to write about? You should try out writing prompts. Sure, it might turn into a rant (see below), but at least it gets you to write.
