THE LAST BREATH
The grass was so well manicured that most of the participants who sat in a large circle naturally assumed that it was astro-turf.
Hawaii is an ancient place. So many people have lived - and died - here. With such a rich, cultural history, chances are that, in our small community, at least one person in nearly every household has had some kind of supernatural "chicken skin" occurrence. Welcome to Ghosts Next Door, a collection of ghost stories and other thoughts about and around the Mysteries of Hawaii.

THE MAN
I remember the man who rented out a room from us. He did not flinch when my mother informed him of the monthly dues in rent.

COMFORTABLY NUMB
Pettiness is something I have no stomach for. With that said and firmly understood, a letter written in pink glittered ink filled a page with a kind of dribble that only teenagers use with which to communicate their underdeveloped feelings.

WHO ELSE TO SEE?
Someone was in my room. You know that because you wake up from a dead sleep, well at least I woke up from a dead sleep. It was the shuffling feet that did it.

TABBY NEEDS A WIN
Spring was an ironic time for a break from school, considering that Spring was a season when life grows anew after the passing of what would be called fall and winter in the mainland.

WASH
Our (inclusive) culture has long since we have known, had names for an endless amount of differing rains. That’s what also makes our culture unique; we hardly have one Hawaiian word that is a blanket definition for all words.
