Day 56

What if you could see ghosts?
What if they were nothing like you expected?

Imagine walking down the street at night and hearing the echoed
voices of hundreds of people all around you.
They are trying to get your attention, calling out to you by crying
out your appearance.
Hey, red coat! Over here! Excuse me, miss! Oi shortie, I'm talking to you!
You mustn't respond, if you do they will all rush at you at once and  yes, it
is entirely possible to be crushed by ghosts.

You notice they aren't just calling to you, they are calling to everyone,
sometimes by name.
They remember their former lives and they want to return.

If you squint you can see them, blackish people shaped clouds.
Almost gaseous, they float along following people.
Sometimes you only see a few in one area, sometimes there are huge swarms
of them in the sky.

You even see them chase after someone.
A young man.
He runs around a corner with a large group of the dark shapes following after.
You cautiously go over to where he ran, just to see if he made it away from them.
He didn't.
They surround him, screaming.
When they leave you see what's left of the poor man.

Unable to stare any longer you turn around.
They have you surrounded.
They know you can see them.
