Seems fitting for a Ghost Wife

The story that I found most interesting today was “The Ghostly Wife”. The story itself was short and kind of bland but what makes it fun for me is, It is a story I can spice up and make better in my opinion. I will first change one of the characters. I would change the mother to a sister, for my sister is always judging and females I bring around. I will change what the ghost does with the wife for stuffing her into a tree seems very simple. Burying her and saying that she has no chance of survival seems more appropriate. Yes, I know this is very dark. I will also change some of the other things that are noticed in the story that brings them to the conclusion that she is a ghost. I may also change the ending to where she curses the family or house for she wants to stay. I could also make it to where they live with the live happily with the ghost in the end and the ghost provides them help with the special powers that she has. The story seemed simple but I will give it the set up and plot i think it deserves.
