Ghosty was protecting me!
Come to think of it my life has steadily gotten better since he started haunting me.
I was able to fix my sleep and I'm way less depressed now.
He was my guardian angel!
That I was trying to exorcise….
I'm a jerk.
"I'm sorry ghosty!" I cry out.
"Thank you!!" Tears are coming to my eyes.
The murder hobo is desperately trying to free his hands but it's no use.
I take this chance to slip my arms through the backpack arms and escape to the floor.
I put some space between us and look back to see Ghosty by my side.
The murder hobo is fuming.
"Damn you and your little ghost friend!" He cries out.
He starts to run after me with the bottle in his hand.
Ghosty starts to glow and I kid you not he extends a finger towards me.
"Pull my finger," I hear a voice in my head.
Here goes nothing.
I pull his ghostly fingers and nothing happens.
Darn.
But then all of a sudden I get this warm tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach.
And it's growing quickly.
I've never felt so good!
Like I can do anything!
It grows and grows and spreads throughout my whole body.
I feel like im floating, wait, I am floating!
The murder hobo stops in his tracks and stares in amazement.
Light begins to emanate from my body, covering me up tight like a warm blanket.
It transforms me.
For a moment I can see everything, feel everything.
I can see the scene, like I'm the writer of a story typing out the words as a the scene plays out in my head.
I know what to do.
The light fades and I gracefully descend to the floor.
I've gained a foot of height and my muscles are bulging.
And I've got a really cute dress on for some reason.
I strike a pose.
"Princess Di, armed and ready."
I extend a hand and a blaster materializes in my hand.
"Woah!!!! Di just transformed!"
"Holy shit! This is so cool!"
"Woahhh a real life super hero!"
Twitch chat is loving every minute of this and all my viewers come crawling back to me.
"NOOOOOOOOOO" shouts the murder hobo.
"MY VIEWERS, MY MONETIZATION"
I almost feel bad for him.
Almost.
I hold the blaster and start charging up a shot.
"The princess Di special, special gleam cannon!!!!!!!"
Powerful light energy shoots out of the blaster and hits the murder hobo, a direct hit!
His body goes flying through the pool, through the apartment building, and lands hundreds of feet away.
He won't be bottling anyone anytime soon.
"We did it!" cry twitch chat.
"We defeated the murder hobo!"
"Princess Di rules!"
I power down and feel myself getting shorter.
Ghosty slowly re-emerges from thin air and we high five.
"Thanks Ghosty!"
"Anytime kiddo," says a voice in my head.
Wait.. I recognize that voice!
I remember now!
I pat my face looking for something.
There!
I grab at the goggles and slowly lift up.
I blink a few times to get oriented and get up from my chair slowly.
My grandpa is sitting in front of me and I rush to his arms!
"You're the best grandpa! Best gift ever!"
He pats my head and gives me a warm smile.
"Anytime kiddo, I made that one just for you and I'm so glad you had fun."
"I was a superhero!"
"Yes you are," He assures me.
That was the first time I tried TVR, and I've never looked back.
