It was a hot humid night harold heard a scream coming from a far off distance. He didn't think much of it at the time it wasn't unusual seeing that he lives in the country near the woods. So he just continued to do as he was doing cause if he looked for each scream he heard he wouldn't get any rest. That was the only downfall of living in the middle of nowhere in the country he lived alone he lost his wife in a fire in the city about 10 years ago. So he chose to just move away to a nice small house in the country like him and his wife sharron planned when they had a family. But they didn't get the chance to have kids so he was alone alot. He didn't really go out much except on the annversary of his wife's death ten years ago to forget the horrible tragady of that painful night. He goes and has a couple drinks but the odd part was that the screams he usually heard was always on the anniversay of his wife's death. 

But he never really put two and two togeather until he came home from work and he was hearing noises and his name was being called but he could hardly hear it (harold) the voice says from a far off distance who's there? Harold said (harold) the voice says even more far off in the woods. Harold goes on the front porch turns on the porch light who's there? He said (save me harold) the voice said closer and far between (it's burning, hurry save me). As sweat pours down his face from the august heat he starts walking down the steps slowly. Hello is anybody there? (Hurry before it's to late something sudddenly flashes in front of him then he hears crashes and thumps in the house things busting glass shattering. And when harold goes back in the  house there is a big gust of wind in the house. But there is nothing there is no wind outside it's humid and still outside who are you? He says panicing what do you want from me?.

(I want you to save me) what how do you want me to do and before he could finish his sentance the ghost was gone also known as sharron. Later on while he was sleeping a voice screams once again (help me, save me it burns please help me i don't wanna die) who are you? And why me? Why did you choose me out of everyone? What makes yoy think i can help you? (Because i know you can) said the ghost of his wife. But how?  Just trust me the lady says as she dissapears  with a big gust of wind behind her as he watched the mysterious lady dissapear in the thin air. He was so tired from the night before he couldn't focus on his job the next day all he could think about was how much the lady's voice sounded so familier but he couldn't quite wrap his mind around it he was  puzzled. 

Scared but yet he felt comforted all at the same time so after work he went straight home instead of to the bar just in hopes that the lady comes back that night that's all he could think about was why is she coming to me? And what burns?. And how can i help her?  He asked his self quitely then it dawned on him as he got out of the shower sharron he says his eyes widend he said in great shock could it be?  No it couldn't be i mean that was ten years ago if she was gonna come to me she would of done it ten years ago. I'm losing it he says to his self as if he could be right but why now? After so many years later?. So he sat in the dark with a few candles lit and the fireplace on even though it was humid out he figured that the lady must be cold. So he would. Keep it warm for her as he waited all night but nothing he eventually fell asleep on the couch then all of a sudden a voice comes out of nowhere (harold,harold) sharron is that you? He asked axtioulsy he reaches out to her but wakes up and looks beside him and sees her laying next to him it was all a dream thank god he whispers happily
