A Haunting in Alabama

I found you. 

From the floorboards, to the trunk, to the stairs, to my table, you shambled. Howling and bleeding. 


God, I had wanted so badly to recognize you.
To have some common ground with someone, even if it was just a ghost.

But, here we are.

You,
some memoir to a dead boy whose face is stretched so badly across the pain inside you.

And me, 
some sad survivor.
