"I still feel..."

"Doan feel anythin' except the wind on your face and a song in your heart, young man." The ageless old man lifted my heavy bike like it was nothing. "Now ride back to the lowlands and spend a few days gettin' rid of those." He pointed to my neck. "Mary'll na' follow ya there, lad. Now go...off with ya! Keep the settin' sun on your right, and you'll be fine!"

As I rode off around the curve, I realized I hadn't thanked the old man and, remembering my manners, I quickly reversed my direction. In a few seconds, I was back to where I'd left him not a minute ago, and the road was empty. The long, meandering strip of black macadam ahead was empty, too. The land was silent and devoid of anything but me and my machine, along with the ruined castle and whatever silent spirits watched me from the craggy summits.

As unique, strange, and different as this was for me, I realized that I had become part of just another Highland legend: a single line in a volume that spans the ages, without beginning or end.

A good ghost story is all about the setting. You nailed this one. Thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.

probably miss-categorized, but a nice story, wish it'd been longer.

Nice ghost story--but it WAS a ghost story, not LW.

A great little story, good plot, and great execution.

Well worth the 5/5 l’m giving it.

Enjoyable, but I found the early paragraphs somewhat over-written

Beautifully written, poignant and very atmospheric. This author has an ability to weave a web of words to pull the reader in with his narrative and this sensual ghost story brilliantly blends an erotic one night stand with a gothic horror story. I'm sure that when travel restrictions are lifted, this tale will have many a lonely biker heading off to the wilds of Scotland in search of a similar encounter.

Thanks for the effort.

Very well written. And castles...let me tell you. I've been in a dozen or so during my life. Something about them lures me up against the wall, embracing it, trying to listen for signs of the past. If only those stones could speak! 5*
