“I don’t believe in ghosts”
― Steph Nelson, Last One Out

“for air. You can’t live in those deep dark waters of fear”
― Steph Nelson, Last One Out

0 likes

“get a few steps away from the car and a shiver runs through me. It’s not only the cold, it’s something about this place—a presence, or I don’t know—some type of leftover residue. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do believe that the stuff we’re made of, our soul, or whatever, has to go somewhere when we die. It’s energy that must get put back into the world in some form. I’ve never thought about whether that energy can get stuck in one place, but that’s exactly what this feels like.”
― Steph Nelson, Last One Out
