Laura Rhoades<br/><br/>"It's very nice, don't you think, dear?"<br/><br/>A woman asked and the man agreed.<br/><br/>"I'm glad you both like it. If you follow me, I'll show you the bedrooms."<br/><br/>An older woman's voice said to a young couple. They were dating and ready to take the next step. Living together to see if they were compatible to make a long term commitment. Unfortunately, for the couple and the woman trying to rent the apartment, there was another young woman in the apartment. A woman, who for the last decade, believed the apartment was hers.<br/><br/>And it had been hers, well, until she died. Although Laura Rhoades didn't know she was dead. She had an argument with her boyfriend and had stormed out. She had been so angry, fuming that she had caught him 'flirting' again. She had never seen the car coming. She had died two days later in the hospital. Laura's soul had not moved on, she didn't even know she was dead.<br/><br/>Laura thought she was still alive, she thought she had been alive when she left the hospital and came home. She hadn't accepted her death. But she was angry. Everyone in her life had moved on from her. David had left, her parents and brother didn't even talk to her anymore. She had no friends now. All she had was this apartment and her landlord, Mrs. Miller, was trying to rent out her home. Again! Laura had lost count how many times this had happened.<br/><br/>"Dammit, Mrs. Miller, you can't do this!"<br/><br/>Laura yelled as Mrs. Miller came into the bedroom she was in with the couple. Mrs. Miller hit the light switch to turn on the lights in the room. Laura stormed over to her landlord.<br/><br/>"I know David left but I'm still here. I'll pay you. I'll-"<br/><br/>As always, Mrs. Miller ignored her. The landlord was talking to her potential tenants instead.<br/><br/>"Hello? I'm right here!"<br/><br/>Laura said, waving her hand in front of Mrs. Miller's face. Again, she was ignored. Mrs. Miller grinned at the young woman as she said.<br/><br/>"You'll love the closet. It has enough room for-"<br/><br/>"STOP FUCKING IGNORING ME!"<br/><br/>Laura screamed out, causing every light bulb in the room to burst in her anger. Mrs. Miller and the couple gasped in shock.<br/><br/>"Does that happen often?"<br/><br/>The man asked and Mrs. Miller bit her lip. It did happen, a lot. Actually none of her tenants stayed long because weird things happened.<br/><br/>"I...ummm....It's an older house. They have issues sometimes, but also character. My husband and I will always come right away if you need anything. Come, let me show you the bathroom."<br/><br/>She suggested to the couple. They exchanged a nervous look but agreed. The rent was very reasonable. Actually much lower then most people in this area asked. Although there was a good reason why. Laura Rhoades didn't like sharing her home with anyone.
