In a dark cozy corner of the attic lived a small ghost named Glimmer. He was as white as the softest cotton and had big curious eyes. Every night, when the stars began to twinkle, Glimmer peeked through the cracks of the attic floor, watching the family below.

While the other ghosts talked about their nightly scares, Glimmer stayed silent. He was unlike the others; he found humans interesting, not scary. Though he often wondered about them, he was too afraid to be seen.

One night, a soft humming filled the attic. Glimmer recognized the sound coming from below—it was the little girl, Luna, singing a lullaby.

"I wish I could listen closer," thought Glimmer. "But what if she sees me? What if she’s afraid?" The thought made his heart flutter like the wings of a bat in flight.

One evening, Luna left her teddy bear in the attic. As Glimmer looked at the teddy bear, he felt a strange pull to return it to her.

Gathering all the courage he could muster, Glimmer picked up the teddy bear. It was heavier than he expected, but his determination was stronger than his struggle.

At the same time, Luna realized her teddy was missing. She looked under her bed, behind the curtains, and then decided to check the attic, slowly stepping up the creaky stairs.

The moment had come. As Luna’s head popped up through the attic doorway, Glimmer stood frozen, the teddy bear in his arms. Their eyes locked, and time seemed to stand still.

But instead of screaming, Luna smiled. "Thank you for finding Teddy," she said softly. Glimmer's fear melted away with her gentle voice.

From that night on, Glimmer wasn't afraid of humans anymore. He and Luna became secret friends, sharing stories and laughs in the quiet of the night.

Glimmer learned that humans can be kind and that being different isn't scary. And Luna learned that sometimes friends come in the most unexpected forms.

And so, the attic became a place of magic and whispers, where a little girl and a once-fearful ghost shared the most unlikely friendship.
