This is a ghost story i've read for my English lessons. It's about a lonely man who misses his late wife. After his wife died he feels that his bedroom is haunted. He starts to play a game with the ghost in his bedroom every night before going to sleep. But the game starts to be more and more dangerous.

Another protagonist who's gone mad. I felt this story to be relatively hackneyed since a lot of novelists believe ghosts but those imaginations are all controlled by themselves. I expected something more as a finale..

This story was really scared, and I was surprised at the end. I don't wanna see the ghost forever. It is not good to kill lover because of jealous.
