Excerpt from Sometimes Murphy Wins

“Do you really think we should?” Fina whispered to her long-dead sister. The two elderly ladies stood in the shadows, watching the lone woman at the bar quietly sip her drink. People walked past, oblivious to the fact that they were being quietly observed by what some might call ghosts. If one of the club’s patrons happened to pass too close, a shiver of foreboding would pass through them, as if the cold hand of Fate grasped their fragile lives in her fickle hand. “I don’t see that we have any choice; we can’t leave her like this. After all, she’s family!” Josie whispered back, as the girl turned yet another man away with a shake of her head. “But you know the rules, Fina. We’ll get in trouble again. Remember what happened the last several times we tried to interfere in our mortal family’s lives? Besides, we’ve been dead a long time. This one is independent and seems to be doing alright for herself.” “But she has no love, Josie. She’s the last of our family line, and she has no love. How can anyone live like that? She just exists. And if she doesn’t find someone, our family line is kaput. Finito. Done. Then what? How will we ever rest in peace?” Fina wrung her hands as she pleaded her case. “We’re not supposed to help mortals, not even if they’re family. And don’t forget Murphy. He’s been interfering for as far back as I can remember. He’s a troublemaker, that’s for certain.” “I don’t care, Josie. She’s family and she deserves our help, no matter what the cost to ourselves. Maybe Murphy will stay out of it this time.” Josephine straightened and planted herself firmly at her sister’s side. “You’re right. She’s family, and it’s our duty to help her find her true love. Let’s do it.” * * * * * Across the room, another other-worldly presence shook his corporeal head. Murphy was already plotting his counter-attacks to negate the busybody sisters’ well-meaning interference. They’d never learn. As he faded from sight, his slightly sinister laugh caused several of the bar patrons to look around uneasily. Murphy’s Law: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. |
