Ghost turning on the light

Back in 2001 I went shopping with my mother for a new PC at a local computer shop. The shop was a very little shop ran by a man named Peter. He was a friendly and likeable person and as I was a young computer nerd I was impressed that he built all the computers himself. He offered me to come work for him on Saturdays so he could teach me how to build a working PC.

For me, that was a great opportunity because computers are my intrinsic passion. I took the offer and Peter learned me how to build PC’s. Surprisingly enough, soon Peter came by our house with a beautiful bouquet of roses. He fell for my mom!

My mom invited him for dinner and Peter accepted the invitation. My mom’s an excellent cook and makes great authentic Italian food. During dinner it quickly became apparent that we all connected really well and not much time after he moved in with us.

A coupe of years passed and back then I had a girlfriend named Angela. We were both still living at our parents so some times we were sleeping at her place, other times at my place. One night I was sleeping at Angela’s and in the middle of the night her father woke us up: ‘Alex, sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night but you need to go home immediately because something has happened at your home.’.
