Alexis, this is lovely. You had me chuckling all way through. That Samantha is the most endearing ghost I have come across and the sense of humour is priceless. Poor frustrated ghost, but finally getting through to the rather dense living beings. Brilliant. Ullaxxx

Lol, I had to think long and hard about poor Laura having an accident, but it was quicker than boiling the kettle, making the coffee, and then spilling it so Samantha could write the message. Phew - The things we writers have to do! Many thanks for the great review and shiny stars. Both are really appreciated. Alexis xxx

You are so right.I think I have told you that I actually believe in ghosts? Maybe one day I should write about that experience! Who knows, meanwhile though don't worry, I leave them to you. Ulla xxx
Comment from Walu Feral
Hahahaha! Bugger it I have no sixes again mate. That is extraordinary work Alexis. I laughed my head off all the way through especially...
" When she heard the muffled cry for help, Samantha nearly jumped out of the skin she no longer owned." Hahahahaha! You are a nut.
Then came that twist. You are an outstanding writer my friend. Absolute brilliance...
Cheers Fez

Thank you, Fez. I'm up to my eyes at the moment converting 'Let's Talk Dirty!' into a film script for a presentation in September, so apologies for my tardy reply! Alexis xxx

Wow, that is fab news mate. Congrats. Hey I'll send you a PM, stand by

I got me a ghost writer to put my yarn in prose mate, and that was the whole reason, apart from editing that I came back to fanstory. Rhonda my co-conspiritor has agreed to do it for a decent rate, unlike the ones I've researched. She's not a bad writer either I've been following her for the same time I've been following you. Delia and I are stocked. I hated and was terrified of writing it myself in prose.

Well, it looks like I sent it on here LOL
Comment from Cindy Warren
I loved Samantha's solution! It's so much more creative than simply having her turn off the 'chiller.' I wasn't familiar with the term. You're talking to someone who spent the weekend picking Saskatoon berries, dousing them with maple syrup, and pouring them on pancakes. Anyway, there's no doubt that Samantha meant to save Igor, so will Laura still want to call that priest? Maybe she'll decide having a ghost around isn't so bad.

Lol, she couldn't get at the chiller electricity supply because she hasn't worked out how to pass through walls yet, but I wouldn't doubt that if she could, she would have! I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter. It took a long time to write, but hopefully, I got there in the end. Alexis xxx
Comment from Curly Girly
Dummy Laura! What a clever ghost! At last, Igor is about to be rescued.
As a reader, I have these thoughts:
1. Who closed the chiller door?
2. If the ghost can write, and alter the clock, etc, why can't it open the chiller door?
Just my thoughts.
A fun read though.

Laura inadvertently closed it a couple of chapters back when she went down to check if the back door was locked after Karen's call. This is the third thing Samantha has found she can do, the first being tampering with electrical appliances, and the second being that she could merge into someone's body. She is still trying to work out how to move or float through solid objects, but I wouldn't doubt she'll work out that one eventually!
Thank you so much for the precious six, my friend. I really appreciate it.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I guess I've heard it all now, Samantha, the ghost, writing messages with coffee and hot liquid . . . . Now, we just have to hope that Igor hasn't been trapped too long. Great job. :-)

He'll be fine. If it had been a freezer instead of a chiller, I wouldn't doubt he would be a 'stiff' by now! Next chapter just posted. Alexis xxx
Comment from scongrove
Wonderful chapter Alexis! :)
I was captivated by every word. I was wondering how you were going to get Samantha to help Igor. You definitely brought Samantha's character more into the story that is keeping me excited to find out what happens next. Great idea with the coffee. Now, hopefully Laura will make it in time to save Igor. I can't wait to read more!

Just posted! Yes, it took a long time to write, and in the end, Laura having an accident was the only answer. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Shana. Your praise always urges me on to improve!

Comment from G.B. Smith
OH WOW Alexis
This chapter was riveting. I thought Igor was a goner when he couldn't reach the third blade. Good ol Samantha save the day though it was hard to convince Laura that Igor was in trouble. I loved the message on the floor. WTG

Hehe, I never thought I'd have one of my characters wetting themselves just so I could move the story along! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Bear. Alexis xxx

I was on tenterhooks reading this. Come on Laura, move your bloomin' arse! Igor is fading fast! Clever Samantha writing a message in the spilled coffee. Laura better hurry up. An entertaining chapter, Alexis.

Come on Laura, move your bloomin' arse! just about sums it up. I was getting so frustrated when I was writing this chapter that I even made her have an accident so I could speed things up! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. Thank you! Alexis xxx

Comment from wordsfromsue
Wow! Where's a 10 when I need one?
Seriously awesome chapter. The last paragraph and hot liquid fear, good stuff! Sorry, but I snorted when poor Laura wet herself! If I ever become incontinent, I'm blaming it on a ghost!!
SUCH a good chapter!! :-)

As one of my most appreciated reviewers, your review blew me away, Sue. This one took ages to write, but your reaction makes it worthwhile. Thank you, my friend, for not only your review but the ten masquerading as a six! Next chapter just posted.

BRAVO! What an exciting, fun and amazing chapter! I loved the way you wrote the ghost and her frustrations. It is so interesting!
I didn't see anything to tweak or work on.
Great work!

I'm so glad you liked it, Rebecca. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but this chapter took forever to write, but knowing so many people enjoyed it, yourself included, makes it all worthwhile. The six is the cherry on the top. Thank you!
