A Debt to Pay

"Elsie isn't odd, she's gifted."

That's what her Nan used to say,

but there's no denying strange things

tend to come the empath 's way.

First a ghost and then a stray dog ,

then a tramp ... or so it seems,

a man shattered but so handsome

he's the stuff of girlish dreams.

When the lost soul seeks assistance

Elsie can't turn from his plea

to help him be reunited

with his long -lost family.

But there's far more to the story

than the ghost of Arthur knows,

and a cold, malignant spirit

blocks her, everywhere she goes.

The task starts on All Hallows Eve

and must be done in two days.

Can Elsie end a demon's curse

with the help of her two strays?
