The Ghost Inside Me

by Stacey Rect

At the crumbling edges of a small town, Emily works as the caretaker of an ancient church, a place steeped in history and mystery. One evening, as dusk settles over the graveyard, she encounters the spirit of a man who once lived and died in the very building she now tends. His name is Gabriel, and his presence haunts her thoughts as much as it does the old stone walls. As they share whispered conversations and fleeting touches in the moonlit nave, Emily finds herself falling in love with a ghost—bound by time, yet more real to her than anyone she's ever known. But love with a specter comes with its own set of consequences, and soon Emily is faced with a to remain in her world, or to step beyond the veil and marry the man who can never truly be hers... or can he?
