Three Word Wednesday

I love three word Wednesday!!! I really like writing, and this is a good challenge!!! The words this week are: Professor, Unlikely, and Stairs.

The professor was someone no one knew, and no one liked. However, no one disliked him either. He was like that rock in the garden, it's always there, but you don't really care, do you? Well, that describes the professor. He was total nothingness, but he still was someone. He worked at a school no one went to, and lived in an apartment that housed no one else. He never talked, and only went into town on Friday nights. For the older boys, this was a time when they could "prove" their bravery, daring each other to make faces, even touch him, just to try to push some emotion into him. But he never did anything, showed that it bothered him at all, even when they threw rocks at him. He walked down the stairs, step after step in a perfectly even order. The only problem was that whenever those boys would tough him, or try to, they felt nothing. And the rocks never really touched him, it almost looked as if they went through him. But the boys, knowing full well that if they even breathed the word ghost, they would be the laughing stalk of the whole town. So the professor continued his life in perfect order, in perfect rhythm, working at an empty school and sleeping in an abandoned house. Until one day, a girl, new to the town and always on the lookout for adventure, dared to say the word. And nobody knew what would happen when she did, at what it would bring to their once peaceful town. They never even thought that that unlikey word would do anything to them. Dare to say it. Ghost.
