You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well.

There's not much news report report so I'm going to jump

right into the story. It's our second story for the issue 126 March 2017. The title

is Real Ghosts and is by J.B. Park.

J.B. Park's stories have appeared on Clark's World, Light Speed, and Nightmare.

With more forthcoming on Gammett and Lackingtons, he lives in New Mexico.

You can find him at his website, maybe Park.com.

And if you like what you hear, August 2015 brought you, it was educational.

So I hope you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

his own scheduled imaging. He'd avoided it all these years, but now

there's no more years to avoid it in, and so he'd done all the things that he

could remember to do. Reconect with surviving members of the Hong family, talk to old

friends, finish getting his will set up. Doing them had kept his mind busy,

had kept him pushing through. Now as he talks to Maureen he feels like things

are about to get better, but that's when the doorbell rings. A quick glance to a view

outside confirms his suspicions.

It's Maurice, his still alive brother.

He's tempted to leave the door shut, but Maureen's disapproving look is enough to let the

other in.
