This was such an interesting take on the prompt! I love the mix of historical elements with the idea of a "sympathetic ghost" lingering in the background. The dialogue between the two characters was spot on—it felt tense but had this dark humor woven in that really made it engaging. The way you tied in the legacy of the Lee family and the Civil War made the stakes feel even higher. Great work, and now I’m curious to see how these characters deal with the colonel in the end!
