I am booming back later to read this story, but can we bemoan together that 2003 is considered vintage? I’ve only just gotten used to the idea that the 70s are vintage…

Coming back that is! Not old enough to be a boomer!

It has taken me some adjustment too. 😂 But I gather that once 20 years have passed, things start to get called vintage. Thus, here we are. Happy weekend!

Loved the opening line! Great start. I'll swing back to see what else you have in store. I'm a real sucker for a good ghost story.

Thank you!! I based this house on a sorority I lived in, back in the ‘90s, which some people said did have a ghost roaming around. I never saw anything myself, but it made for a good story idea. :)

Nice start! This hooked me pretty quickly. These characters are a perfectly quirky collection and I want to know more about all of them. Looking forward to enjoying more of it :)

Thank you, Sal!! In retrospect, I now think some of the people at Drake House probably know all about Ferris Island. 😉 We'll see if it gets any traction here. Big hug from across the Sound!
