Why aren't my parents home yet?

An overwhelming restlessness approaches, my eyes flicker, darting to and from every corner of the room. Something about the clock on the wall irritates me. This is strange, they’re not usually out this long and absence in this house should not be taken lightly. When alone I don’t migrate from the open and barren living room unless necessary for survival. Why? Quite simple really: ghosts. They lurk around the house, infesting mundane objects and trying to control my brain. That being said, I’ve learnt a trick or two such as closing my eyes and walking quite hastily to ensure survival. My skills as an exorcist are quite mind boggling really, only to be topped by my occupation as a detective.
