\Snap, crackle, pop. The fire breathes a life of its own. A connection between two worlds. A pit of messages from the dead to the living. If only they would turn on their senses. The deceased wait, patience the equivalent to thin ice. “Silly girl, don’t marry that slob!”
Jenny stares into the flame, lost in thought.
“Come on Jenny, it’s your hens night. Smile.”
Jenny forces her lips up and nods at her sister. Gathering herself, Jenny turns away from the heat. She pauses.
“Do you hear that?”
“What? Granny not wanting you to marry? She’s been nagging all night.”

I’m afraid Granny has a reason for not wanting her to marry. Maybe she should rethink.

Dear Tannille,
Welcome to Friday Fictioneers. A rather ethereal story. I’m guessing Granny isn’t among the living.
Shalom,

Thank you for the warm welcome.
Granny is dead. Although now you question it, it might be interesting if she were alive :).

Welcome to Friday Fictioneers, Tannille,
Excellent first story! I say that any thing, be it spirit or gut that gives her pause, must be listened to…

I hope Granny keeps trying. I don’t think Jenny is too sure about the marriage herself.

She heard her Granny in the cracking sound of fire? Why didn’t Granny approve her marriage?

That is a very good question Abhijit. Another story perhaps.
