A normal Ghost

It's ten minutes to go and we are dead. Well, maybe not, but this really sucks. We've won every game so far in this competition. How could they be beating us 110 to nil? I need a miracle to win. We need a miracle to win. And, to make it worse, mum keeps clapping every time they get a goal. Basket ball is my game and my team is the best, but now, those stupid Fire-flies are beating us? How? They are the worst team. Suddenly, I figure it out. Somebody's making the score on the score board go up. I look up at the fire-flies goal. The ball I see is going in and out automatically. What? This can't be happening. And it isn't. Ouch! Something's just bitten me on the chest.

 'Wake up Will!' Mum is yelling and half sobbing. What is happening? I'm awake but I can't lift up my body. That's better. Now, I'm off the ground, but my body's still there. In bed where I was a minute ago dreaming. 'Mum?' I say quietly. She looks up and faints. I rush to my mirror and stare at myself. I'm white and see-through! I'm a ghost!
