Short Short Story Thursday

From this week on, every Thursday I’m going to post a short short story that I wrote myself. Feel free to do the same if you like. The following story was originally written to amuse Troy at work.

There was this ghost who went to see a doctor because he wasn’t feeling well. The doctor asked the ghost what his problem was and the ghost said, “My heart is beating.” In reply, the doctor said, “That’s good news. That means you’re still alive.” And the ghost went home from the doctor’s office with an identity crisis.
