Omgosh sitting on granny?! And her cat?! Fantastic response to the prompt!

On one hand this story could be written as a tale about processing grief and not seeing as clearly due to it. On the other hand, it's still very much a ghost story. Good work on this prompt. It was definitely intriguing how it was her granny and cat that she could see.

LOL granny was a ghost . At first I thought he killed her by sitting on her, but being a ghost would definitely make more sense. 😂

Good flow, I feel bad for Gerry I almost thought for a moment that Gerry was also a ghost. 👻

There's a TV show called Ghosts. There's an American version, but basically it has influenced me. So they look pretty solid but those who can't see them is likely to sit on them without realising it. Comedy ensues.
