“He had built his own future brick by brick around himself but there were no doors or windows, at least that was the way it seemed at the time he had thought to himself, I am locked in, it was like one of those ghost stories where you wake up and you are sealed in a coffin.”

“Ghost Sonnet (Parapsychology 101)
Do you believe in ghosts, someone asked.
Plenty mysteries to unfold, I replied.
Most cases, commoner curiosity gives in,
supernatural explanation is convenient.
Thus mysteries become paranormal,
despite being born of a natural world.
Question is not, is there an explanation,
but how far are you willing to unravel!
In short, there is no supernatural,
only natural yet to be understood.
If human mind perseveres long enough,
every mystery soon reveals its truth.
Bluntly put, there is no ghastlier
ghost than a wicked personality.
We are the gods, we are the goblins,
of our own elaborate story.”
― Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
