Arg, ouch, and very impressive job using format and style to evoke a state of being. And then, using that set up to lull us into a false sense of security before dropping the gut bomb of pain at the end. Kudos, sir.

I second THX . Kudos. This is poetical in the best way and I abolutely loved it! Last line is the best: settling him on the floor in a warm splash of sadness. Genius.

oh, you sent the ghost to the floor! it’s heartwrenching! I found the movement occurs when something else moves you contradictory to the normal ghost phenomenon, and I have been pondering it ever since…

Awesome. The form, the word choice, the emotion… Awesome.
