Once We Were Ghosts

All our stories are true, for we are the fabulous fables, of the long dead. All truth and fiction has been ghost-written by those formerly gone. Every new perspective of an ever-expanding reality, philosophies of all kinds, both modern and classical, art of every form, including all contemporary and futurist technologies; the terrible weapons of war, and of course every religion and scripture ever preached, all of it dreamed-up by us ghosts. Once you were perfectly alive and not merely the dead acting-out a dream of life. We eternals have always given you a view, sights imagined by us just for you. Yes we know you feel that this must take away your purpose and creativity, deny you what you supposed to be a real life, but you see, you are one of us also, we are all ghosts, ghosts coming and going.
