Ghosts

It is so very hard to see a ghost run down the street to catch a train at 11:40 something on a Saturday night.

You've just gotten off the train yourself, and for some reason, exited the station on the side of the street you never exit from. It is for this mere chance reason that you've only by seconds avoided a street collision with your ghost who is running at full pace to catch the red line north or south or somewhere.

You observe for just a moment, unseen, and when it becomes safe to cross to the side of the street you meant to be on in the first place, you quietly continue your walk home, wondering what would have happened if a collision had occurred and why the ghost was running at all...and to where and to whom.

It is hard to walk the same streets as your ghosts. Especially when it is you the ghosts can't see.
