Ghost Girls
In 1996, Ghost Girls was included in The Best American Stories. It is from the collection - Haunted.
Perhaps inspired from her childhood in a developing small town, Lockport, the story merges from a childhood image of a small country airport situated amidst cornfields.
Ingrid, the child protagonist in the story, is disillusioned by her parents' mysterious lives. Here, there is no parent child connection and no communication. They live a mechanized life. But a child’s mind is like clay and can be molded by his or her observations of sights and sounds. And it can soar to imaginations.
This nature of curiosity leads Ingrid to exploring the quiet town and barren fields around her.
What lies amongst eerily silent corners of abandoned places, who can say?
