The Chronicles of Hannah Flynn, Ghost (continued)
Captain's Log Stardate 07.17.2012
In the spirit of Revelation 2012 (ghosties are real!), I have decided to embark on a part-time gig as a serial prank artist. I shall use my invisibility as an ally! Because I'm the jumble-headed sort, I've decided to compile a list of entry-level 'prank jobs' for the week. My chosen target? The Stanley-Ballard Office Building, where I shall become known as the Mischievous Spirit of Stanley-Ballard!
Monday- The Copy Machine Job Infiltrate the office building. Locate the copy room. Wait for an employee to approach alone. Watch them start a huge batch of copies. While their back is turned, quickly remove original document, briefly go visible, and press my face against the screen. Make 'silent scream' expression for a few copies, then retreat before they notice. Follow them back to the desk. Watch as the chips fall where they may.
Tuesday- The Lobby Job Lay in the middle of the first floor lobby, preferably in front of the elevators. Let people trip over me. Scream in agony (maybe legitimately).
Wednesday- The Helpful Spirit Job Go to the company gym. Sneak into the men's locker room. Find the showers. Wait for a victim. Start handing him things, like the shampoo, conditioner, or bar of soap. If he runs screaming, offer him his towel. Edit: Can I make a camera go invisible with me?
Thursday- The Car Job Materialize in Mr. Ballard's passenger seat. Once he's driving out of the garage, begin to mess with things. For example: a) repeatedly change the station to Rump-Shakin' Classics, b) flick on the windshield wipers, c) turn on the hazards, d) while he's at a stoplight, engage the parking brake, e) use electric button to roll down his windows, f) reach over and honk the horn.
Friday- The Porn Job Infiltrate Mr. Stanley's personal office. While he's in a meeting, sneak onto his computer. Begin downloading pornographic photos. Send them as attachments on business emails! Include captions like, 'Let's DO lunch!'

As you can see, faithful log, I am settling into my existence as a spirit. It doesn't have the zing-badda-bing of life, but it's got some perks! If I hadn't died, Whistler wouldn't be around, and I never would've met Oliver. Plus I am helping people! I've gotta chance now to do more than serve cherry pie and meatloaf. I still haven't given up my dreams of being a Real Girl again. It's funny how being ordinary never seemed that great, 'til I got to be extraordinary.The above experiment is to see how the PTBs handle a little misappropriation of talents. Fingers crossed!
But I guess I wanna say, if this is what the world's got in store for me, I can take it. Not only that, I can have a fun time doin' it. So don't you worry about me. Hannah Flynn's gonna be alright.
I think my earth HQ's are about to change. Oliver's thinking about leaving Nevada, once his legs are healed up. If he goes someplace else, that's probably where I'll be, when I get time off 'the job'. So maybe sandy old Searchlight's not the long-haul for me, after all.
Goodbye Verlie Doing, I'll miss getting knocked upside the head for using the 'H' word. Goodbye Natasha Rockwell, I hope you find some bodyguards to love in California! Goodbye town where I loved Devon O'Connell, who kissed me in the middle of the street with a sun-halo behind his head. Goodbye Sonya Ramius, I'll miss our road trips to pick up ketchup packets and demons dressed like Liberace! Goodbye Creepy British Goth Chick, who made me sell my soul for Tom Jones tickets and nearly shoot my foot off. Goodbye Mrs. Abernathy, and your casseroles. Goodbye Searchlight Ladies' League, BINGO was a blast and a half, especially when I ran off with all your trolls like a looter in a riot. Goodbye Mallory Quinn, my great friend, save the turtles... clip your soda rings! Goodbye Julie Sanchez, who taught me Spanish cuss words, I just know you'll find what you're looking for!
As for Victoria, Whistler, Connor, Deanna, and all the rest: I don't know why, but I've got this feeling I'll occasionally see you on the flip side!
