Greetings all; in my stories my characters exist in my head, but there might be real life inspirations for some of them. Who knows? This is sort of a haunted house meets, reincarnation story, where the house is occupied by a spirit rather than a ghost, with some voyeurism, romance, love, and friendship mixed in. ~ Mattie fell in love with the little white...
