... And this was the other thing, which was a prompt from my list doubling up for the challenge:

Title: Haunting
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lost_spook
Rating: All ages
Word Count: Drabble
Characters/Pairings: Sapphire, Steel
Warnings None.
Summary: There are so many ghosts. (Prompt 83: steel & sapphire - Ghosts & Drabble)

***

You see them walking past, and they’re translucent, mere phantoms, but you’re not afraid. You’ve seen so many others. They can’t touch you, not here.

Then the woman turns. Suddenly, with eyes burning blue, she stares through the veil between you. She sees you – knows everything you are.

“Ghosts,” she says. The humour in her voice chills you. You didn’t know you could still feel fear.

“Break the link,” the man beside her says. He’s cold, dispassionate. It barely interests him.

It’s the last thing you hear before the world drowns in blue and you die a second, final death.

A story fit for Hallowe'en, is that...

Yes, very chilling indeed. They're the thing that the things that go bump in the night are scared of...

Ooh! This is so them! I love the twist you managed to get in there too - that the person whose POV you're using is the ghost.
