That was really sweet, I think. Started out a bit daunting, and definitely could have gone in an entirely different direction, but I like how the story went.

Yeah, I can't write scary. Especially sitting alone in my front room with the rain pouring down outside at 5:30 in the morning.

"Superior to any living man's." Sadly that's often true. I liked it, you made me hungry. Peripheral vision, the way ghosts look - you're right. For medium work they'll appear accurate to their deaths, but once the connection is made they look younger, healthier. Interesting mc.

Its 12.20am I can't sleep, too many ghosts. Healing workshop tonight. The energy is still here. Universal healers - reptilians, others. Chinese healer, 8000 years ago. I trance/channel all my meditations.

Thanks for being you. I love visiting.

I've always been really glad not to see ghosts. I'm glad you found the mc interesting. I'd have liked to spend more time getting to know her, myself.

I made myself hungry, too. Hope you get some sleep soon.

ps. sometimes when I'm working on my Strange Maid story, I think, "I can't wait for Simon to read this."

I'm eating cashews and macadamia nuts, and an apple. You have an Ishmael guide 400BC, and a Pict 200AD ... mmmm, and 3 more.

ps. Thanks. Me too.

A pict, huh? I'm going to have to look up Ishmael, since I only know that from MOBY DICK.

I have to admit I was heavily influenced by the ballroom scene from the Haunted Mansion Ride at WDW. :D Thanks.

I have an *other* ghostly boy I need to devote some time to now, as you well know. ;)

This actually made me well up with tears a little bit. :)

I was going for wistful, too!
