Tiptoe Through Time: A Halloween Short Story and Uncanny Romance

H. M. Jones

Tanya doesn't know why she let her friend Hannah talk her into going on a ghost tour-she doesn't like ghosts and she hates getting scared. Tanya's ready to call it a night when Hannah bails, until she receives an intriguing text message from her friend saying a tall, handsome blond man, Mr. M, will be escorting her on the tour, instead. So when Tanya, standing just outside of a room in which a strange woman is summoning spirits, is scared out of her skin by a light touch on her shoulder, she is relieved to be greeted by a tall, blonde man named Milo. Milo is quirky, to put it mildly. He speaks in an old-world accent and plays the part of colonial gentleman almost too well. He asks Tanya to accompany him on a tour of his romantic home and town, and she is too swept up by his charm to refuse. Tanya is immediately wooed by Milo's engaging spirit and romantic home, but things don't feel quite right. The town of Port Gamble, she finds, is more than it seems. And her tour guide is either a modern gentleman or something else altogether. When two worlds meet on All Hallows' Eve, a haunting love is formed, one that obeys no bounds.
