Ghostphobia

Ghostphobia Ch. 1

A young woman named Marichilo with long black hair and wearing a school uniform.She was humming to herself until Conchita walks by, and arrogantly sneers at her

"I can't believe i let that terrible woman interview for a job."

" Ms. Marquez you're next"

Marichilo gulped

"Let's see Ms Marquez do you why you're here."

"Well it's because i have a fear of ghosts" Marichilo sees a ghost

" Aaaah!!!"

"The first step is your fear of ghosts is recovery."

Marichilo smiles

"You realize this job is quite safe for you"

" Quite safe"

"Are you sure you can handle it"

"Oh yes i can handle it"

San Maripilar

"Oh no?"

"Good luck Marichilo" 

Marichilo heard Conchita laughing

Marichilo heard a thunder crash

"Welcome to San Maripilar." Marichilo gulped. She opens the door "Uh-oh?" Marichilo sees a girl with frizzy long black hair in a flowing white gown appeared behind her "Aaaah Ghost!" 

Marichilo is pacing back and front  

"Keep it together Marichilo!" 

Marichilo hyperventilates

 "Breathe Marichilo"

 Marichilo sees a yellow bulldog 

"Aaaah" 

She sees a skeleton

 "Aaaah" 

Marichilo panting, gasped and her eyes become large; ghosts appear

"Uh-oh?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!" 

One of the ghosts party too hard and accidentally flings its brain into a punch bowl on the table; the drink splashes into an apple-shaped ghost

"Dude, I think you're having a little too much fun." 

 "No, he's always like that." 

A muddy ghost dancing knocks into a female ghost who is holding a cup, causing her to spill the drink on her shirt

"Hey, you got ectoplasm all over my top." 

It is shown the female ghost has no body parts below the waist

"Well, it would have been hard to get it on your bottom."

The male ghost laughs, but stops when the female ghost's legs kick him. Elsewhere, a pixelated ghost is banging on a door

"Yo, you done yet? "

The pixelated ghost looks into the room, making the occupant scream. The pixelated ghost is slapped. A headless female ghost that carries her head is conversing with a male ghost 

Marichilo faints

As Marichilo felt her eyes open she thought she saw the form of a skull as the darkness faded away. She awaken to a much more bizarre scene.

" Hey she's waking up! "

She heard excited voices above her and all around

" We got a breather over here, fellas!  New arrival! New arrival!"

"She fainted earlier..."

there was the voice from before, the deep smooth words of the nameless woman "Are you alright, Chilo?" a ghostly hand lightly held her head up.

She blinked several times "Wh-what happened...?" her head was pounding, heart beating rapidly.

"Look at her', she's still soft!" a child's voice came from a small ghost, he poked Marichilo's cheek.

The sight made Marichilo jerk up and stumble to her feet "Oh! Wh-Wha-! What's going on-!" her surprise didn't end as the horror grew to the scene of various ghosts in what could only be an old botanica.

Marichilo's eyes widened more in shock

Suddenly everyone's eyes were on the ghost of a Mexican feminist, who slowly approached Marichilo

"Hi i'm Addie what's yours"

Marichilo gulped  "Marichilo"

"Oh, right..." Addie says with a wince. "I forgot you have that big contest to get ready for."

"Yep, the twenty-fourth annual Botanica Contest!" Marichilo declares. "I've been practicing for weeks, and I have to make sure everything is perfect for tonight! I have to win, I just have to! Especially since..."

"Oh no," Addie said

...

"Conchita..." Marichilo finishes with a scowl.
