Andrew & Meagan from Horrible Occurrences by Advance Base

Andrew & Meagan
came over last night
just to have a few laughs
but Meagan didn't seem right
She kept checking our windows
chewing on her hair
jumping at shadows
& freaking out Clare

Andrew drank the last cold one
asked if we had some more
The 'frigerator was empty
so he walked to the store
That was just before 9
We haven't seen him since
but we left the porch light on for him

Then Meagan asked us
if we'd ever seen a ghost
& told us about the night
she was driving down the Michigan coast
& she passed a lighthouse
& saw a dude standing under it
He looked transparent
She saw the lake right through him
He turned to face her
only she couldn't see a face
It was like the lighthouse lamp
was shining in its place
Then all Meagan saw was light
A premonition of Andrew's death
& everything gone white

Andrew showed up at 10
with a half rack of Coors
Scared the life out of Meagan
when he walked through the door
