A ghost is lurking

Sometimes I come across the ghost of a man looking for me in my mind. I remember his wolf fur, my polka dot dress, the blue walls that color his room. We never touch each other and I feel like I don't want that either. I have too little energy for jackal fights, cheap dances and worn-out whispers. Yes, Yes. I don't like to stay in the middle of phrases, days, smiles, or anything else.

The ghost dances in the dark and that excites me. If it came out in the light, it would either be too pale or blind me. And who wants human edges?

The ghost sings to the beat of "The National" and "Radiohead". The ghost tickled me without touching my feet. The ghost is playful and makes me dream. The ghost has the perfect body. The ghost walks like a sunrise that knows how to make you laugh and cry. The ghost knows me better.

Some people have ghost weddings there. Others lock them in the closet. I decided to cancel everything that starts with "if ...".

Indeed, who wants human edges? Can we be edgeless? Isn't the definition of us (the delineation, the limitation) an illusory, arbitrary choice? Aren't we boundless, One with the Whole? Our individuality a cup to shrink the ocean? Maybe that's what you are tiptoeing toward, by canceling all the conditions of 'if.'

Your challenging and complex questions make me start with anoher one 😁 Who can truly understand the human condition...??...so many perspectives and tiptoeing toward them to find a meaning...when maybe it's all just a paradox, and we are ''dust in the wind'' in search of being something special and spiritual. However, in this life illusion and especially in the ''love illusion'', I guess we are in search of more clarity (in our mind at least), no ''ghosting'', and 'if' potential facts unless we want to delude oneself. Well..this is the thing with Logic...it doesn't admit grey nuances, but we can't still just say that they don't exist.

Hello @maylenasland,
It is obvious you know how to write. Your 'story' is not really a story, but you seem to know that. This emotive adventure reads more like poetry than a story, but it is beautiful and we do get to know the 'character' in this brief piece. We curate only stories in the Ink Well. However, in acknowledgement of the beauty in your piece, and in recognition of its ability to move the reader, we are curating this. In the future, please try to post pieces that conform more nearly to the structure of a classic story (arc, character, resolution, etc.). Thank you.

We appreciate that you think of us when you write creatively. This was a fun read.
