It was as a certain ghost floated through the streets of the human village that men seemingly came from nowhere! How interesting they were, carrying hammers and instruments of blunt hitting and paper, oh how interesting of an invention paper was. How could some stiff log of a tree turn into something so flexible and white? Well, either way, the ghost took interest and floated to the nearest hammering man, listening to the rhythmic 'thack, thack, thack!' of their hammering and the occasional "OW MY THUMB!" from the mishap of missing the nail, the entire melody of the workers hammering away at any hammer able surface they could find along with the occasional sound of pain caused the ghost to giggle. As the hammering man finished his work the ghost floated ever closer and stared at the sign in front of her.

Oh what a pretty sign, but what was this? The ghost called Amira scratched her chin and silently floated in front of the sign before her, tilting her head left and right and floating upside down then right side up again. Then the sudden realization came to her, the realization was let out as audibly loud as a ghost could get, despite in her invisible state it wouldn't be heard by any humans no matter how close they were, "WAH! I... I... I CAN'T READ!!!"

Amira slumped her shoulders as if defeated. At this point a voice called from within the young female ghost's mind, a voice of unknown origin and a voice she most likely did not recognize. The floating girl floated higher into the air and spun around, looking for the source of this fascinating voice. At the same time she listened to it, intrigued by what it had to say and found herself momentarily forgetting about her plight at the sign.

"You there!" the voice called, the innocent ghost pointed at herself as if saying 'me?', and found her reply, "yes you! You can hear me right?" The girl nodded as if the voice, whoever it was or wherever it came from could see her. The voice continued talking to her, telling of the sudden urges to move to the center of the island that she had so strongly felt earlier, almost like the urges that came from the strong scent of a good meal. Mmm...

As the voice finished and told the girl ghost not to talk to him as he can't hear her Amira found herself nodding, then caught her head and made herself stop. She gave a sigh and floated back down to the ground then went through the sign and made herself visible to the world of humans, the girl stepped out and away from the sign and tugged on a random persons sleeve, the person looking someone intelligent, "Uhm... Can you read?"

"Yeah, I can read, do you want me to read that sign?"
"Yes mister."
"Okay..."

The stranger vocalized the message for the ghost and she nodded in delight, her signature aloof smile written on her face, the reader could only smile back, thinking of how innocent this child seemed to be.

"Oh, thanks mister, I guess the sign's just telling me to go where I already wanted to go... Anyway... bye!"

Just like that the ghost child turned invisible, the man that she just conversed with looked around rapidly, thinking himself crazy for a moment then rubbing his head and going back to work, muttering something about the silly specters having their fun. In the meanwhile Amira floated away and toward the exit of the city and eventually the exit of the island.
