Looking around the paranormal practitioner’s plush apartment, the journalist asked her, “What’s your favourite possession?”

Author bio: John H. Dromey was born in northeast Missouri. He’s had flash fiction published online at Liquid Imagination, The Red Asylum, Thrillers, Killers ’n’ Chillers, and elsewhere.
