Notes: This story is another of my very early short stories. Its really short, and more a mood piece than a character arc. I think it still works pretty well though, for what it is.

Excerpt

The streets of Boston are packed tonight. Winter has come and the snow on the ground is just enough to make the city look inviting, but not enough to keep people off the streets.

The few I pass through who have some spark of perception are aware of me on some level. They shudder as I slide through them. They stop in their tracks; look over their shoulder, or up into the sky. Perhaps they experience déjà vu, or suddenly remember something they didn’t realize they had forgotten.

Most just blindly lumber on towards whatever destination they are bound for, completely unaware that a dead man has just passed right through them. Most people are sheep anyway. Their ignorance of me is not a surprise.
