Twenty-Six (Part 1)
The man who killed him made sure to wear his finest suit that day.
Sitting in the back of the courtroom was the young ghost of a (former) twenty-six year old man. Unseen by the other attendees, he adorned the same outfit he had died in: a simple black T-shirt paired with light-wash jeans and white sneakers. Those who knew him had spoken his name during the trial, their voices laced heavily with a mixture of warmth and anguish. The young ghost, however, simply knew himself as the victim of the man—the man, also known as the defendant who was currently standing as he awaited his verdict.
