"Possession?" Pete was baffled what his friend was talking about, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Pete, try to follow me buddy," Jack said in a condescending manner, "This weird candy gave me a weird power. The power to possess people, dude. I can become like, a ghost type thing, and enter people's bodies and control them. For all extents and purposes, I would be that person. Pete, this is crazy, man!"
"Yeah, it's crazy, you sound like a fucking lunatic," Pete said, frustrated with his friend’s lack of focus. "That candy is clearly messing with your head, I would really appreciate if you sat down and just relaxed for a minute. You're really freaking me out."
"No, Pete," Jack said, making sure to make eye contact with Pete, "This is real, man. I know I can possess people. I can just feel it in my bones."
"Well if it’s in your bones, then it must be true," Pete sighed, as he back sat down, giving up on trying to help his friend.
"Pete, I swear on my great grandfather's grave I'm being serious," Jack said triumphantly, sure that would convince Pete to believe him. Much to Jack's dismay, Pete kept giving him a look like his was crazy. "Look, I'll prove it to you,"
"And how are you going to do that, dickhead?" Pete asked, looking towards the kitchen clock. Pretty sure I could be doing something more productive right now, Pete thought, growing annoyed with his friends antics.
"See, all I have to do is put my hands together," Jack said, as put his palms together, like he was praying, "And..." Jack was cut off as he instantaneously vanished in thin air.
"JACK!" Pete screamed as he rushed over to where was standing. All that remained were Jack's empty clothes. Pete frantically searched through Jack's crumpled outfit to find any kind of sign of his friend. Nothing Pete’s thoughts turned hysterical, There's nothing left. He completely disappeared. Did he really become like a ghost or something? I need to do something. Call somebody. Maybe Mom knows something about ghosts, Just as Pete fished his phone out of his pocket, it vibrated in his hand. He had received a text from an unknown number. Mysterious stranger? Pete thought, as he opened the new text. It read "Guess who Pete?"
"Jack?" Pete texted back, trying to ignore how ridiculous this was. He didn't know what he was thinking, he was just hoping his friend was safe.
"Bingo," read the reply. A sigh of relief came from Pete, as he calmed down. "Guess who I am," read the second text Pete received.
"I have no idea, dude" Pete responded, not really having put any thought into who Jack might have possessed.
"You're gonna lose your mind, man. I'm..."
