Being haunted isn’t easy, but it’s different than you’d think. More
heavy and dull, like a hangover. A cramp that never quite goes away.
It’s a familiar fatigue, the kind you grow tired of, where the world

wound in the sheets. The ghost of a brother, a suicide. A collection of
symptoms. A fragment of light fading in and out, until just a body
remains.
