Changing

"Aahh!"

I immediately ran to the kitchen when I heard Julia scream as if she had seen a ghost. "What happened? Are you hurt?" I asked her, terrified, when I saw her standing stiff at the kitchen counter with a sharp knife in her hand.

"Oh, no, I'm good." Julia put the knife down and covered her eyes. Then she started chuckling like she had lost her mind for no reason.

"What's wrong then? Why did you scream?" I looked around to see if there was anything out of the place, or if there were any spiders or cockroaches in the vicinity.

Julia wiped her tears and answered while laughing, "I got startled because I suddenly heard a voice in my head and I thought it was a ghost whispering to me."

I laughed along with her, albeit confused as to what actually happened. "Umm… am I missing something?"

"Give me a sec." Julia raised her hand, gesturing me to wait, and then went into a state of daze.
