It had been a long week, but now, finally, the weekend arrived. Ben sat on the sofa, watching his niece, Ruby, create a vibrant collage. Ruby then presented her artwork, a picture of a friendly-looking ghost.

Ben felt a sensation akin to floating. He recalled the ghost, Casper, his childhood confidant, and found himself chuckling softly.

“He looks like a good friend,” Ben observed, his voice full of amusement. He felt a deep sense of calm, like a soothing balm.
