Ghostly Guardian
By Timothy L. Drobnick Sr.
Sparks flew through the night air as Dad pounded the steel digging bar into the concrete driveway. The dull clanging sound reverberated around the yard and inside my chest. I stared in fascination as bright orange sparks arced from the metal bar, briefly lighting up Dad in the dark. He struck hard, grunting with effort, a sturdy figure in a red sweatshirt and blue jeans. In this spectacle of flickering light and searing bits of concrete, the lady who can pass through walls shimmered at my side.
Dressed in a dark blue gown adorned with white frills around her neck and wrists, she seemed to melt into the night. The light of the sparks reflected in her dark eyes, adding an aura of mystery and intrigue to her ethereal form. “Why is Dad attacking the driveway?” I asked the lady. “He’s preparing for a fence,” she said. Her spectral form vibrated with each echo of the metal bar.

Biography.
About Timothy-Wearing many hats throughout my life, I started as a passionate artist of painting, charcoal, sculpture, and pottery. My college recruited me as their community art teacher for the pottery class. My constant curiosity led me to invent, always seeking innovative ideas beyond traditional limits. My pursuit of truth and spirituality has been my compass guiding me to explore the human soul and its connections to the universe.
Between 1994 and 2015, I embraced one of my most cherished roles: a dedicated stay-at-home dad to seven children. During this time, to provide for my family, I did tax preparation and wrote short stories. My experiences shaped me into a seeker, storyteller, and perpetual student of life.
