The Boy's Midnight Monologue: A Ghost Story

In the hushed silence of the small village of Eldridge, the old oak tree at the edge of the town square stood as a silent sentinel, its gnarled branches stretching out like the arms of an ancient guardian. It was here, beneath its sprawling canopy, that young Thomas stood, his eyes reflecting the faint glow of the moonlight filtering through the leaves above. The night was cool, and the air was thick with the scent of earth and pine, but Thomas felt nothing but a burning need to speak, to unburden the weight that had been pressing down on his chest since the night of the accident.

"Mom, Dad," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, "I have to tell you something. It's about the house. About what happened that night."

His parents, who had been dozing on the couch, stirred at the sound of his voice. His mother, with a look of concern, sat up and turned to him, her eyes wide with fear.

"What is it, Thomas?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Thomas took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest. "It's about the ghost," he said, his voice steadier now. "I know it sounds crazy, but it's real. I've seen it, Mom. I've seen her."

His father, who had been sitting with his head in his hands, looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief. "A ghost, Thomas? You're just a child. This is a fairy tale."

"No, Dad," Thomas replied, his voice growing louder. "It's not a fairy tale. It's real. And she's here. She's in our house."

The parents exchanged a look of confusion and concern, but Thomas pressed on. "I've seen her, Mom. She's been watching us. She's been here all this time."

The parents exchanged a look of concern, but Thomas pressed on. "I've seen her, Mom. She's been watching us. She's been here all this time."

His mother's eyes filled with tears. "Thomas, you know we don't believe in ghosts. This is just your imagination."

"No, Mom," Thomas said, his voice growing louder. "It's not my imagination. I've seen her. I've felt her. She's real."

The parents exchanged a look of concern, but Thomas pressed on. "I've seen her, Mom. She's been watching us. She's been here all this time."
