Flash Fiction #178 – Ghosted

Hugh had the best two dates of his life with Calista.

They couldn’t stop talking on their hike.

They laughed hysterically every time one or the other fell on their butts while ice skating.

He even told his best friend Calista was the one.

But Calista never showed up for their third date at the movies.

She didn’t answer any of Hugh’s texts or calls.

He supposed his best dates hadn’t been hers.

He did not hear about the fatal car collision.

Until two months later, when

Calista’s ghost told him.
