The Doctor and the Dead Girl . Top Story - June 2023.
We slip into this life unannounced, and we wander until the sands run out of our personal hourglass. We lose everyone we ever come into contact with, and then we just as mysteriously depart. And do we tread the floorboards once again, with different, subtler feet? Some believe we return. Some, that a troubled soul can never leave. At least, not without its duty rendered, its commission expired, its purpose fulfilled. Or, its torment ended.
