To Be A Ghost
When you are a ghost, you can see everything and everyone, but very few people see you or know you are there. You can see the good and bad things, but you cannot influence them. No one can hear your words or be touched by you. For them, when you are gone, you are gone and there is no coming back.
When you were with people, you always said that when you became a ghost, you would let people know what it was like here, but now you are a ghost, you can do nothing but wander and watch.
You find it strange that you are the only ghost. You have seen or heard no other. Although some people do see you, you are nothing but a fleeting shadow. You try to speak, shout and scream, but no one can hear you.
Being a ghost is a solitary life.
You wonder if you missed an invitation or direction to the final resting place, but there is no one you can ask about that.
You are here, jealous of those who are enjoying life, doing things and creating things, that you would love to take part in but cannot.
So you wander the earth, feeling a little hope when someone notices you, and hoping that you will one day find a way to fulfilment.

The Enchanted Girl
She sits on a throne in a twilight dream world between two monstrous warlords. No words are spoken, but she may not leave. They sit in a thorn forest of evil and dark things, Faces are half seen in the shadows, and in the distance, a curlew calls. They have no names, but they are bound together until they are undone. The sorcerer's spell has bound them here as revenge for some ill that he said they had done. What their crime was, no=one knows. They must sit in dark silence and hope that one day they will be free.

Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Even more plaintive when you find yourself a ghost on this side of the veil.
Being a ghost would be so lonely. I once wrote a tale from the view of the ghost
I can really feel that quiet, lonely feeling of being disconnected.
Fabulous 🏆⭐️✍️🏆
I feel being this kinda ghost is both a blessing and a curse. Loved this!
