For background, I’ve been single since my youth and since my last relationship ended I’ve dedicated myself to my business. Over the years, thanks to my hard work, its become really successful and I’ve become very wealthy. I did have a business partner but he died last year. Since then I’ve run the business alone.
I’ll be honest, I don’t have a very positive view of other people. I think most of them are malingerers who don’t work hard enough. Even my clerk asked for Christmas Day off, which I’ve permitted but docked his pay. I don’t celebrate Christmas myself and think it’s just an excuse for people to slack of work. My nephew always invites me round but I decline, rudely.
I got home from the office at about 9pm this evening. As I opened my front door, the knocker transformed into the ghostly image of my former business partner’s face. I thought nothing of this and assumed I’d eaten a bad potato.
Imagine my surprise when, after eating my nightly bowl of potato soup, the ghost of my business partner appeared right in front of me. He was talking nonsense, something about how we pay for the sins of this life in the next and clanking loads of chains. He then said I’d be visited by three other ghosts before the night was over. To be honest, the whole thing ruined my evening.
I’m going to go to bed on the basis and not give this a second thought because I still think its down to a bad potato. AIBU?
