What could be a Solution to this problem!. (An ending) Any good ideas!. And it can't be like "and then I woke up" or the woman dies because I need the girl to get away forever!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If the ghost is a little girl who was murdered, your protagonist -- the woman who bought the house -- must eventually (once she has overcome her own fears and anger toward the seller) communicate with the child, be compassionate, and become intensely focused upon assisting the wretched child to find peace and to escape her seemingly endless semi-existence in the form of a ghost!. That should be the plot's conflict!. The woman must discover the means for enabling the child to achieve peace!. Perhaps the woman can engage in discussions with the child (who at first is reluctant to reveal herself as truly human in her emotions) over a period of time in which the child eventually is able to relive the murder (her inability to resolve her anguish over what happened to her -- maybe she blames herself for own her murder -- can be the source of her remaining a ghost rather than to attain the "beyond")!. Depending upon your own belief system, you can decide what the child's destination is to be when she and the woman are able to collaborate in releasing her from her spectral captivity!. I think that your concept has great potential to become an intriguing story!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

An interesting (and good, and scary) book that may inspire you is "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman!. I had to go to the children's section to find it at the library (it is Gaiman's 'book for all ages') but it is a very quick read and I know will inspire you regarding how to end your story; there is at least one similarity!.

You may find enough material at Gaiman's safe and fun web site to inspire you regarding this girl-ghost!. Suggest you try that too, as Gaiman frequently has videos of himself reading various work by him, good synopses of his books; just a lot to see!.

Reading good books often helps a writer write, by both their influence and variety; along with observation of life around the writer, who stays alert to it at all times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

how about the woman must confront the girl and find out why she cant or wont leave!. then , after a bit more detail, she finds out that the person who killed the girl also died in the house, and is tormenting the girls spirit!. the woman researches on how to get rid of the tyrant entity!. she eventually, through a long and gruesome process, banishes the evil spirit back to hell, and the girl's father or something descends from heaven and thanks the woman, and takes his daughter into heaven!. use detail to make this scene full of happiness and joy!. the woman should cry!. that should doWww@QuestionHome@Com
