Trust, Undone
For Paul and John's 47-Words Short Story Unofficial Challenge

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits don’t wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.

Never trust anyone...darn it. Even family...everyone sucks sometimes. Hope this is a fake story...if not...so sorry.
