Tea Party [A 50-Word Story]
<center>http://therosepatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tea-Party.jpg</center> <br/>The prompt for this week was "ghost". I wanted to do something other than the obvious so I looked up the different definitions of ghost. One was "a faint trace of something", and then the suggestion given by the dictionary was "she gave the ghost of a smile." I borrowed that line and used that as my prompt for the story below. Enjoy!

<hr />

<h2>Tea Party</h2>
“Not today, honey.” Brian turned to Abby. “Daddy has to work.” 

A tear slid down her cheek. “Okay, Daddy.” She walked away. 

Brian sighed. Work could wait. “Abby.” 

She looked back. 

“How about a tea party?” 

She gave the ghost of a smile. “Really?” 

He nodded. “Go get your dolls.” <hr/><br><a href="http://www.inkubatorcommunity.com"><img src="http://www.rjeanbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/INKubator_2.jpg"></img></center>

Damn! That's some twist. Great story. Usually people who report contact with the afterlife do not interact with dead relatives on a regular basis. That adds a certain level of creepiness to an already scary possibility

Thank you, but there's no contact with the afterlife in my story. Just a simple daddy/daughter story :)

Hahaha. I guess I misread it, then. I took the "she gave the ghost a smile" as addressed to Brian/Daddy.
I guess he was a ghosyl father in terms of his absence/presence in the little girl's life/games.
