This was an excellent tale with an ethereal feeling and a great twist that went a step beyond what I anticipated with her. Loved it. 5*, a new favorite, and best wishes in the contest.
Wow, great story! I got the foreshadowing that Britney might not be mortal, but the twist at the end got me.
Great story, as usual! A spooky love story is just what I needed to start my day today. 5*
I was mad that you missed a whole paragraph explaining him parking hisbike, i thought typo. When he said our tree i thought it was a dream about a gril. When her knew her name without an introduction i thought another typo. I was about to give up. I guessed pretty early that she was a ghost. When you mentioned meat on metal trays I guessed surgery. Your ending was incredible. You are very talented and use great grammar. I am glad that 8 didn't give up.
I do not like supernatural stories. There's no point to them at all. You don't learn about people and their emotions. It's just silliness and I wish the authors would put them in a category where I could pick and choose and thus avoid the nonsense. 2*
It started as a loving tender story and ended with tears in the eyes. Not very believeable and realistic but a fascinating read. 5*

I know, right? They should do something like hold a Halloween contest, and then they could put all those stories together, maybe, I dunno, with a link on the entry Literotica page or something. And maybe we could have authors put something Halloween-y in the name, so grouchs would know to avoid those stories!
Frank, as usual, well written story. If I was nit picking, I'd have loved for the prologue to have been just a bit longer to flesh out the main character some more. Having said that, your stories speak for themselves and I bow to your expertise! I appreciate your time and effort. 5*.
I'm with Ludvig, it started as a very romantic story with lots of lovin' and I finished it with tears in my eyes.
Many Christians believe we will all be together again when we pass, maybe so. The more stories I read from the really good authors bring tears I've never had before, maybe life goes on.................................
Oh My God, such a wonderful tale of love. Not unexpected being a Halloween story, but goodness me….tears 5 wonderful glorious stars.
Little too obvious up front we were being thrown into a fantasy where Brit wasn't real, but beyond that gap everything else was well played. The interaction with the brother was a bit confusing - how could he see him? I could feel the love and finality that the two were "soulmates", so great job there. 4.7*
As a scientist, life after death with interactions with the living seems phony, contrived. But as a reader of a master storyteller, it seems so real. Well done. 5*
A sweet story of two people finding one another and starting a new life together. Thanks for sharing. Five stars from me.
Just enough foreshadowing to leave a smidgen of doubt, then growing confirmation when he meets her brother. Lovely story.
EXCELLENT WORK Frankenstein1962!! I'm not too crazy about the whole Halloween thing, but i truly hope your little tale is a winner. And I just hope my own "Britney" is there to greet me when my motorcycle crashes!!
WOW, just...WOW!! Saw it coming, but it was so well done. I just loved it! KUDOS + 5!
If the world is a just place, this is the winner. I’m totally agnostic and have been for over 50 years, and you had even me willing to buy the premise, if only for a little while. Easy 5 stars.

I did not see that ending coming AT ALL!
I sussed out that Britney might've been a ghost...but the reveal that Kyle had snuffed it as well - well O.M.F.G.!
Top Shelf!
11/10!!!!!
Kyle also having died an accident was the twist that added the fifth star. A well done told tale .
Damn! I confess I didn’t see that one coming, great twist and an excellent Halloween story- even though it’s currently the middle of May…..
