Ambrose Bierce’s “A Cold Greeting”

Friendship can be a strange thing. What happens when it seems that a friendship…dies? You can be my friend, especially on the social media, like Twitter at @HalloweenHaunt and on Facebook, where I confess I only have a page you can like, not “friend” me. But we can pretend, right? Hear more gothic fiction from Ambrose Bierce and more at TheHalloweenHaunt.com.

One note–I edited the story a bit, to remove what I felt were unflattering ethnic stereotypes.
