This is for Mikeydred's March prompt.

March is unpredictable, even for Casper. Michelle Liew

**********************************************

A spectre tried to spark a scare,

But it lost control, so unprepared

He threw a table, then it returned,

Smashing into Old Abe's urn.

**********************************************

He tried to spook with all his might,

But was confused by the scene in sight.

"Why won't my ruin stay emplaced?"

He sprinted, as forks began to chase.

**********************************************

This Huitian is entirely original, and the presence of AI Tags is coincidental.

    You made me lose track of time with your humor. Despite the laughter, I see hidden messages. The ghost and the urn—maybe, I’m thinking, it hit it and awakened those who hold lanterns and search for real humans? The chasing forks—could it be that people today have ghosts for breakfast?
