Amy

One day, I was at home. The telephone rang and I went to get it.

'Hello?' I said.

'Hello, Sam. My name's Amy.' She said.

'Hello Amy. Who are you?' I replied.

'I'm a punished soul... and I need your help.' And later, she hung up.

Later, I didn't know what to do. A punished soul? What did it mean? And how did Amy know my name? I was scared. Terribly scared.

The next day, I had a flight to New York. My girlfriend was living there and I wanted to surprise her. Valentine's day was near.

When I got to the airport, a beautiful lady came to me.

'Hello Sam.' She said. I instantly recognized her. Amy took my hand and brought me to a remote place in the airport.

'Don't be scared, don't be scared. I'll just ask you for a favour. Next I'll dissapear from your life. Are you ready for it?' She asked me. I was scared, so I agreed. Later, she told me her plan:

'I'm going to get your flight with you. In the plane, I'll sit next to you. Later, I'll do what I have to do. Are you going to help me?' She asked me, nervously. And then, when I again nodded, Amy relaxed, and we boarded the plane. The flight was going well until Amy said:

'Come on, it's time. Follow me.' And I followed her.

Only needed one hour to land. We arrived to the exits, when Amy, invisible to human's eyes - except mine -, started to open them.

The flight attendants started to shout. 'Please! Someone could help us?! There's a supernatural force that has opened the doors!' People started to shout in horror.

Suddenly, Amy, smiling, told me:

'My beautiful plan is ending... it's a shame... Don't you think? I had a great time with you, Sam, but friendships aren't forever. Thank you for helping me... Goodbye, Samuel.'

After that, she pushed me...

...but I got her shoe and she came after me! We were falling into the void, when Amy said:

'My plan failed, Sam. I can't die with you. Follow your life as good as you can. I'm sorry.' She explained. Her voice seemed distant, cold. And, in a second, I was inmediately back in the plane, but Amy wasn't there... What had happened?

Finnaly I met my girlfriend at her home. I decided to forget this, but there are supernatural stories that never left your mind.

Amy, the punished soul, will never rest.
