Oh, I love this!!!

It has a really creepy, but still so realistic tone, and poor Jack - seeing ghosts everywhere, and then Shannon of all people

It’s harsh. It’s Shannon. At least that’s something.

*sighs* Great lines.

Ha, this was the perfect read before going to bed, thank you so much for this! ♥

Aw, I'm so, so glad you liked it! I kind of struggled with it but I wanted to do something -- at least try to get to the people on my flist.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Love the use of the prompt. And oh, wow, chills. I thought this was going to be a pre-island meeting but Shannon as a ghost (and not a very happy one at that!) is so effective. And oh, Jack. I just want to take care of him when he's like this. Excellent fic!

I figured pre-island had been done to death and so I figured this was as good as any.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Oh, this is wonderful. How creepy, but so well done! Of course ghost!Shannon would be that direct and harsh. Poor Jack. The last line is particularly effective.

Aw thank you! I figured, you know, Shannon wasn't all fluffy bunnies in life, why would she be in death.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

This a really well-written moment. You can completely see Jack and Shannon, feel the atmosphere and the touch. Excellent!
