   Summary

   rewrite/re-imagining of my prior work!

   In a desperate attempt to get over your ex-boyfriend, your friend, Frank, gets you in touch with his classmate, Ray, who has a strange understanding of manifestations and spells. While he believes he has given you a spell to help you move past a former lover, he has actually burdened you with a haunting. Unfortunately, the ghost you are dealing with quickly becomes a best friend, and possibly even more. But, then again, can you fall in love with a ghost? Is it sustainable... or even possible?

   NO NECROPHILIA!! he is a ghost, not a dead body!
