ghost

1 I have a sudden vision of the Apple Lady, walking around the village like a ghost, never talking of looking anyone in the eye.

2 And then you’re left with nothing, left not even with a ghost but with its shadow.

3 And I decided that the best way to do that would be to read her a book, read it to her loud enough to keep the ghosts away.

4 I open the door and am overrun by ghosts.

5 “Just sleeping. Though I don’t know why a ghost needs to sleep. She could be sailing the seas. Or flying to Africa.”

6 I’m a ghost now, I think, a ghost with no footprints.

7 She looks more like the ghost shrimp I saw once at the Albuquerque aquarium.

8 At this the ghost jumped, so that it nearly fell off its horse, and gave out a muffled baaa through its visor, like a sheep.

9 She could work at the laundry from 6:30 a.m. until midnight, shifting a baby from an ironing table to a shelf between packages, to the display window, where the ghosts tapped on the glass.

10 She kept imagining faceless ghosts behind the door.

11 With resolve, she made to leave, but ghosts blocked her way.

12 The best time to talk to ghosts is just before the sun comes up.

13 “What’s wrong with you? Your face just went white as a ghost.”

14 The music fills the room, something haunting now, like a ghost that echoes and rattles in my bones.

15 I keep my hands behind my back, since the ghosts of children have been known to bite off fingers, or so I’ve been told.

16 And until she had a better idea of what Clara wanted she would act normal so that the ghost would not suspect that Ophie was on to her.

17 In front of them, the legionnaire ghost vaporized.

18 I thought of the Mary Celeste, a ghost ship with no crew, sailing over the horizon.

19 Finally, she evanesced the ghosts, starting with Azareen’s grandmother, infusing the dream with their sighs of release.

20 Late at night, Lolo used to tell me and my cousins ghost stories in the dark.
