A strange ghost story. But Sophie forgave his absence and came to him. I enjoyed it. Well written.
Enjoyed the story very much. However, setting rhe stage was laborious. I suggest cutting it in half.
A 5 for you.
Ha! Surprise! You can't please everyone. I liked the beginning. I'm glad you took your time and gave us many believable reasons that explained why he had to spend Christmas away from his family and fiancee.
I was surprised when the story morphed into a ghost story. It was well done.
I am in no position to complain about a ghost story in the Winter contest that would have also been at home in the Halloween contest. As a reader has accurately commented on one of my offering for the Winter contest "nothing says happy holidays like raping and humiliation". My story was short on joy and the Christmas spirit and dealt with the possible consequence of breaking your New Year's resolution.
Keep writing!
Excellent tale of Christmas ghosts, well told, and a happy ending. Max points.
