In My Country

Two girls, the same age, two different countries, working in the same coffee shop. Life explored daily. (all conversations are 100% true)

Ghosts.

“You know what happened? My dog, she ran to me and cried like someone hit her. But I go to my room, and no one there.” -her

“Maybe she got stuck under the bed? That would hurt.” -me

“No, I think bad spirits live in my new apartment and they hit her.”-her

“Gross, like ghosts?” -me

“Yes, you think my dog can see the ghosts?” -her

“No. That’s scary. You should move.” -me

“In my country, they say leave it alone and the spirits will not bother you. You do nothing wrong to them they do nothing wrong to you. Would you bother the spirits?” -her

“No, I’d cry.” -me
