Stories
9White Bedsheet
A cheap yet reliable white bedspread. We tested it for signs of afflatus fluctuation, but the results suggested it is just a plain white bedspread, as ordinary as those sheets that every housewife can easily find in any supermarket.
Patterned Sheet (Summer Beach)
A colorful bedspread themed around the Brazilian coast, where the beach and ocean merge into a summer silhouette, originally intended for children who couldn't visit the beach.
The interviewee seems to have made a surprisingly resolute choice.
A Tentacle of A Ghost Octopus
An octopus tentacle which is pale to an extent that it is almost transparent. It belongs to a friend from undersea who is not willing to show itself. Don't worry, it is no matter; the tentacle can keep her company.
Beginner's Diving Mask
A barely usable plastic snorkeling mask, priced far above its actual cost. One of the mainstays that the street vendors hawk to passing tourists.
Not every journey goes as planned, but given the circumstances, she makes the best of it.
Nylon Swimsuit
A nylon swimsuit with Polka dots on it. It is conservative, common, but you can never go wrong with it. It was a best seller recommended by the salesperson. The cut is nothing special, but it would be enough to bring out the interviewee's good shape, if she didn't cover herself with a bedspread.
Vintage 60s Stickers
Once popular little trinkets in schools, they briefly became a form of currency for girls.
It's clear that the interviewee's sense of style remains rooted in a past summer, but it doesn't matter—at least they match her new bedspread.
Where Are the Girls?
Beautiful stories always unfold in the spring.
While New York still shivered in the cold wind, Florida had already bathed itself in comfortable sunshine. There, a group of young girls called their friends and drove south to a beach in Fort Lauderdale.
Countless bars stood along the continuous coastline, welcoming millions of college student visitors from all over the country. This is where romantic encounters, endless talks and exciting flings happen, a place that has everything one can imagine about youth. The romantic moments of youth were captured on film and later sent to every corner of the country.
Everything they have, she had too: a swimsuit, a pair of sandals, a young body, and that was already more than enough. Even though the sun was not that friendly to her, she could just wear sunscreen and a long-sleeved shirt, and she'd be just like the others, right?
The girl ran the beautiful scenes she saw on TV through her mind while browsing the swimsuits. This time, she had made up her mind to become a part of the fascinating paradise of passion.
No matter how much it would cost.
Poltergeist in Broward
According to the investigation record of the police in Broward County, Florida, the local poltergeist incidents which took place from 1960-1965 had the following similarities:
• Houses were under attack by flying rocks
• Doors, windows and cabinets opened on their own
• Thumps came out from the doors, walls and furniture without anything striking them
• Objects were suspended or thrown through the air. Most fragile objects remained intact after the fall while the stronger ones were completely destroyed
• Abnormal cracking sounds were heard; sometimes the ghost would mimic other sounds in daily life, such as a little girl's sob
• Some people were attacked by the poltergeist who threw objects at them violently, but that only happened in extreme cases
• Traces of liquid were found on the stones in garden, the floor and the furniture after each incident. The liquid was later proven to be sea water
Be on Television
Poltergeist: An interview?! Me?!
Poltergeist: Gosh, nobody has ever interviewed me before! Does that mean I'm popular now? More popular than the girls at school? Am I like those people on TV?!
Pandora Wilson: Relax, Miss. It's just going to be an ordinary chat.
Pandora Wilson: Could you tell me about your hometown? I mean, Broward County?
Poltergeist: ... Everyone forgot about me ...
Poltergeist: It was such a shocking tragedy, but no one remembers it now. They all forgot about me, like I never existed ...
Pandora Wilson: Is that why you repeatedly returned to your hometown? As far as I know, not every ghost would haun-, visit their hometown so frequently.
Poltergeist: Are-Are you here to criticize me?
Poltergeist: I don't know ... I'm just a ghost, I'm dead! Please, stop looking at me, stop asking ...
Pandora Wilson: Looks like that's all for today.
Poltergeist: *sobs* ... I'm sorry ... I'm sorry ...
