Lingering Whispers

Compose a tale about a spirit who is trapped due to an unsolved mystery.

The handprints of the deceased often glaze over unresolved ghost stories. In this case, the ghost is chained to the realm of the living by an uncrackable enigma. The writer can delve into the mystery and try to piece it together from the ghost’s perspective. The climax could ultimately be when the mystery is unfolded, releasing the ghost or leaving it in a state of eternal enigma. Consider who the ghost was in life, what clues it left behind, and why it is stuck in the present.
