The Shadow and The Ghost.

A Story in 100 Words.

The ghost in you 
It is not the same as the ghost in me.
And yet, it will function the same.

Yes, the ghost will let us live. 
Yet, also fallow.

The shadow fights the ghost.
As the ghost fights the shadow.
Only one lingers.
Only one protects.

The light of the sun repels the ghost.
It lengthens and strengthens the shadow.
Clouds of confusion embolden the ghost.
They weaken the shadow.

Let this be known:
If the sun won’t shine on the two
Then let all of its brightness fall to you.

Fuck the ghost.
I’ll be the shadow.
