A rash of song inspired stories, has persuaded Girl Friday WMM(CE) to run a Festival of Song Inspired stories. This is my entry. The song is from the album Brain Salad Surgery from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Unlike my previous song story (Sandra) we had to make the song explicit. I set myself the task of using the lyrics in the story itself - it seemed like a good idea at the time, now it seems merely masochistic! Let me know what you think.
First part of a series that is necessarily broken up into two different stories, this tale involves the decision by two platonic girlfriends to become lovers. They plan to add a man later, but they know that they need each other at least. The purely lesbian nature of this part is why it is part of a series, and not a serial.
Working late in the old newspaper building, Charlie hears some strange noises. Upon investigation, he finds the ghost that has supposedly haunted the building since its construction -- and she thinks that Charlie is her husband.
