Have you ever seen a ghost?

I think I have. I was very young, though, so who knows? I might've imagined it.

I think it's not a coincidence that you mostly hear a ghost story about when someone is a kid, yeah. Maybe is because they're more perceptive, maybe they have a big imagination.

What about you, have you ever seen a ghost?

— No.

You see things when you're tired. I don't sleep well.

[ that was maybe not the most convincing no she has ever heard, but she isn't gonna harangue a stranger about it right off the bat. ]

That happens to the best of us. Especially when you've been working a lot.

So you saw something that looked a bit like a ghost in a sleep-dep haze? That must've been startling.

Yes.

That was fast.

It's not pleasant.

Oh. — Can they hurt you?

That... depends on what they want.

Yeah, actually. It was unpleasant. I've always kind of wanted like, some kind of sexy mute man-ghost to do shit for me like make me dinner and do the dishes and feed my cat or whatever but no, horrible blood-dripping vengeance ghosts. Always. Ugh.

Seriously, what's their problem and what makes them think I'm gonna care.

Oh —

( then it probably wasn't a ghost at all, what they saw. you're just mad, the voice in their head says. the metaphorical voice, that is. )

Ehhh, probably, um... they're upset?

I kind of guessed that, what with all the wailing and shrieking and flying through me with their clawed ghost hands all outstretched like they're trying to tear my soul out.

Never, ever, ever fuck with Necromancers. Does not end well. [SAGE ADVICE THANK YOU PENELOPE]

I...think so.

Might have just been - in my head.
