This is from a paranormal story I’ve been working on FOREVER that remains unfinished. Perhaps looking at it again will get the creative juices flowing. Or not. LOL. Anyway, here’s my Lucky 7. Enjoy.

Carolina stared at the light blue casket surrounded by sprays of flowers and pushed away the thought of what the box contained.
“Hey.”
Carolina looked over her shoulder. “I was wondering where you were.”
Mallory took a seat beside her. “What do you think of my casket?”
“It’s pretty.”
“I think so, too. That’s my mother’s favorite shade of blue.”
“Looks like a good turn out,” Carolina remarked, scanning the rapidly filling church.
“Most of these people didn’t like me. They’re only here because my murder was on the news.”
