restless-spirits

I knew I would lose my job when I accidentally set fire to my best friend__ house.

I am not going to ask that old man if his family home is haunted!

Like the feeling of a carbonated beverage slipping down the throat, the bubbles rushing and popping as they make their descent, the air around a departed spirit fizzles, dissipating from a thick electric presence to an ephemeral blink of light and color, like the aftereffect of too many flash cameras going off at once.

It wasn__ one event, but a series of events followed by years of research adjudicated by panels of experts and committees of laypeople until a decision was finally made: we__e been going about handling dead people all wrong.
