HAPPY ANNIVERSARY by Naomi Clark

Ethereal Tales October 09 Issue

On the fifteenth anniversary of his death, Ash’s father began haunting Ash. It started out with small things, the kind of things any necromancer experienced after a few years trafficking with the dead; disturbed dreams and falling glasses. Then it became vicious, bottles flying across the bar to shatter over Ash’s head, whispered accusations in the dead of night. You hated me. You’re glad I’m dead. You may as well have killed me yourself.

On the fifth sleepless night, Ash sat in the bar of his nightclub watching his father’s shade flit around under the dim lights of the dance floor. Curling like cigarette smoke around the room, the ghost shattered light bulbs and poured icy chills over his son. Ash dug his fingernails into his palms, infuriated by his father’s presence, but unable to banish him the way he could any other ghost. The spirit of Tristan Evenmere seemed locked, fixed on his son.
