A Ghost Walker’s
Love Story
First, allow me share what a Ghost Walker is.
Ghost walkers are a much higher skilled level than the normal people who experience out of body experiences. They can will molecules into what appears to be a clothed, or naked human body, depending on what they wish to do. Most can lift small objects, such as a cell phone and use it as well as any normal human. The strongest ghost walkers can even port heavy items over long distances by their ability to absorb massive amounts of molecules and lock them into place for long durations.
If a ghost walker wishes to focus intense strength on another person’s body, she or he can cause bones to shatter.
If a ghost walker wants to make love to a normal human, she or he will pull more molecules so the body both looks and feels like a human body down to creating nerve-endings, so they can feel. However, retaining such a form for long isn’t easy. Thus, the typical ghost walkers tend towards ‘quickies’. Some are known to be amazingly accurate in the detail, but often larger, when it comes to certain body parts.
Ghost walkers are NOT ghosts. They are living, breathing humans who can leave their bodies.
However, there is risk in doing so. If a neighbor happened to come upon the body of a ghost walker, they might believe they are dead and call an ambulance. This would NOT be good. It is, in fact, the biggest fear that a ghost walker has.
BLURB
Alice is a ghost walker: an ordinary person capable of separating her soul from her body. Unlike her fellow ghost walkers, she uses her ability trying to help protect the world from terrorists and madmen. Finding an FBI agent that she trusts, she supplies the information needed to stop several atrocities from occurring.
She believes she is safe from discovery. However, agent Jack Callaghan finds her with clever sleuthing and romances her with pure intent. Unfortunately, their unexpected union brings wrath down upon them from all sides. Her fellow ghost walkers believe she has betrayed their code of secrecy; the director and fellow agents question Jack’s commitment to the agency, and want Alice brought in so they can discover how she disappears at will. In this maelstrom of betrayals, Alice uncovers the truth about the three men who claim to love her and discovers which one holds true.
Warning: Alice is so dedicated to stopping terrorists that she will let nothing get in her way, not even when she discovers her body is being used against her will. Since she's not in her body when this happens, saving lives remains far more important!
EXCERPT
Blowing up Yankee Stadium
Mohammed Hussain was greatly disturbed as he descended the Yankee’s stadium steps and spied a pretty blonde woman next to his seat. He had a fondness for American blondes.
When he sat down, she smiled at him. Not a sexual smile, but a smile of friendship, letting him know that she did not mind sitting next to a Muslim after 9/11. He did not return her smile. It angered him that she must die. Had he only met this woman a year before, he might not be sitting here today, wrapped in explosives. However, he had not met anyone so gentle and accepting. Instead, the racial prejudice and mistrust he received turned him against Americans and eventually led him to volunteer to be a martyr for his people.
His hand clasped the ripcord that would detonate the plastic explosives embedded in the prostheses potbelly he wore. Security had patted him down, but only briskly on the sides. No one would even think about prodding into a man’s fat belly. The only way they could have known he carried explosives was if they noticed the cord that poked from the skin near his hip bone, but that was safely hidden beneath his stretch pants.
His attention returned to the woman. She held out her popcorn to share. He shook his head and admired her sky-blue eyes. Perhaps he could wait until she stepped away to the restroom. Then, if Allah allowed, she might be spared. No specific time had been set for him to strike against the infidels. He saw no reason to do it during the anthem. The strike would be just as powerful later in the game. Nothing could stop the inevitable now. If someone approached, he would pull the cord, but unless that happened, he would wait and see if the girl would leave.
As the starting time neared, the stadium filled to capacity.
Yes…many will die today, and fear will strike at the heart of America once again. No longer will they feel safe: not at their work, not at their play.
