Note to My Ghost - 100-words
Dear ghost within, my nameless friend. Which of these millions of images that is my life will you remember?
Only you have occupied this body when every action seemed righteous and graceful, as if ordained by the gods. But you also know my flaws.
Do you watch with interest as I fall into the grip of lust again and again? Do you blush at my unbridled naked writhing? Do you feel compassion at my vain attempts to fill gaping and unexplained emptiness?
No matter. Through it all, you remain.
Are you my soul or just a ghost enjoying the ride?

Author's Note
I find myself "praying" to a friendly ghost that seems to always be with me.
