Zachary was about to put the towels in the bathroom. He heard Lilly’s words and stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around and reentered the room.

Lilly asked curiously, “Zac, aren’t you going to put the towels away?”

Zachary remained unfazed and said, “I thought about it and decided to make the bed first!”

Lilly replied, “Oh…”

She looked at the female spirit, who was wearing pajamas and had a towel draped over her shoulder. The spirit leisurely walked into the room and sat down by the bed.

The spirit said, “Oh, we have new tenants again? Why have the new tenants turned out to be two kids?”

Lilly looked toward the direction of the bed and politely responded, “Sorry for the disturbance! We’ll be here for two days. We’ll be heading out soon!”

When Zachary got to the bed, he suddenly went completely still. He turned toward the bathroom and said, “I think I should put the towels down first.”

Polly tilted its head and asked in puzzlement, “Caw caw, why did you come back?”

Zachary ignored Polly.

“I know you are afraid of ghosts,” Polly said.

Zachary sneered and said, “Ghosts don’t exist in this world.”

Those nightmares terrified him. Even though he came here with Lilly, he still held the attitude that it’s preferable to believe something is real or true than to believe it is nonexistent or false. In essence, he still believes that ghosts do not exist in this world.

Zachary was contemplating this when a man came out of the bathroom.

Zachary screamed inwardly. Urghh! Urgh, is this a dream? Am I hallucinating?
