A Debt to Pay

"Elsie isn't odd, she's gifted."
That's what her Nan used to say,
but there's no denying strange things
tend to come the empath 's way.
First a ghost and then a stray dog,
then a tramp ... or so it seems,
a man shattered but so handsome
he's the stuff of girlish dreams.
When the lost soul seeks assistance
Elsie can't turn from his plea
to help him be reunited
with his long -lost family.
But there's far more to the story
than the ghost of Arthur knows,
and a cold, malignant spirit
blocks her, everywhere she goes.
The task starts on All Hallows Eve
and must be done in two days.
Can Elsie end a demon's curse
with the help of her two strays?
