The allure of blue eyes is something we all must face before we leave the earth's first floor and move down permanently into the basement. Many a quickie has been held in the various basements of earth. We all should submit to the allure of ice-blue eyes. - no matter where no matter when - Lobber

Comment from Sylvia Page
Who was the ghost in this delightful story, was it the elder Thomas or the young man she had to apologise to who was on the middle of the road? One of them had to be.
The other two girls that worked Craig House always stared at her oddly and giggled when she asked them about Thomas. There's only three of us assigned to this house, Cheryl!
So Thomas was the Ghost.
Best wishes in the contest.
Sylvia

Comment from Sally Law
Sweet little love story in a history setting. Ha! I wore a hoop skirt and remember what an unruly piece of clothing that was. This was fun and fresh and an excellent entry for the contest. Great job and well written. Sending you my best today as always, Sally xo

Oh, I worked the tours of the plantation homes back in Louisiana when I was in elem/middle/high school...different plantations and sometimes the churches and, one year, a Fort!! ;) ;) Thanx for the review and the smiles this morning, Lady Sal -- you and Jackson take care!! ;) ;) Yvette
Comment from damommy
What a great ending! When will she make the connection between this young man and her Thomas? I hope this one's not a ghost. Will there be more to this story?

Wow, you did a fantastic job with this Yvette. You described both Cheryl's job and the access she had to historic records as well as a great description of Thomas and his presence. Definitely good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements splendidly with the correct word count and delivery of a complete and engaging story. Loved the way you approached this as the use of the historical site as the setting played nicely into the development of Thomas' character. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written flash fiction the ghost of the mansion seems to be transformed into a young guy who likes to go with Cheryl, wherever she is going.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was brilliant, Yvette! Her ghostly friend is going to be around for a long time, methinks! I wonder, did she realise at the end that he was the ghost she'd unknowingly befriended? If she didn't then, I'm sure she will soon. That was a really good flash fiction story, my friend. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx
