This is a stand alone freewrite, although it does follow on from "Jelly". To start at the beginning click here.

"Christ!" Mike breathed, looking in wonder at the high vaulted ceiling of the church on the second floor of the Jelly house. "I mean..," he said, realising that blasphemy wasn't entirely appropriate. "Bloody hell! How big is your house... and why the hell - er sorry - why on earth, do you have a church on the second floor of your home?"

Mr Jelly scratched his head, looking genuinely perplexed, as if the though had never occurred to him that people would think that odd.

"Well, for the same reason I have a canal on the second floor, I guess, sport. Because I can," he smiled. "You know, I don't know how big my house is. I have never been in all the rooms."

Mike closed his mouth, realising he was looking gormless again.

"I can see why you want to downsize, now," he said.

"What?" Jelly said. "Oh, yes. The yard sale. We did say it was for that reason, didn't we. Come on, the canal and the bar is through here."

Mike picked his way through the pews, each with a strange lace doily on the back of the seat...

...

Phew! Just managed to get lace in before the final whistle!

Do you want to see me, and hear me putting on a phoney 'horror' style voice to read one of my spooky stories (OK, NOT very seasonal, but hey! Any day is a good day for a horror story!)? Well, click here to find me reading the story "The Restless Wandering Shade"

Some HUGE news for me!

Another one of my steemit stories has been selected to appear in the Isle of Write Anthology!

“Haunted” is a ghost story (not that the title gave that away or anything) and it currently has 7 parts to it. But it isn’t finished yet. So I had better get on with it, hadn’t I…

It joins my 8 part story “Reunion” that was selected a few weeks ago.

Please support @isleofwrite by visiting their page and checking out their post, they are doing a great job of highlighting good writing, so if you like reading you should really check them out.

You too can be curated and find your story in an @isleofwrite anthology : read the post and find out how!
