They Don't Exist
by J.R. Leckman
A young woman laughs it off when she's informed the room she's staying in for the night is haunted, because ghosts don't exist.Or do they?Every evening Joshua, a manager at FishBurgers, walks home alone. One night, he comes across Mariella, an unusual young woman sitting on a bench. He's thrown for a loop when she tells him where she's from, but he doesn't mind. He doesn't mind the fact that she has blue hair either, in fact it makes her all that much more interesting. The people around Joshua feel that he's a bit odd and know very little about him. Each comes to their own snap judgments about him. Sometimes love can be a little quirky, sometimes it can be a lot quirky.Blue Haired Alien Girlfriend is a stand-alone short story.
