The streets are full of ghosts. Half are mine. I angered them in less than an hour. Now the street lights shimmer in the rain and reflections flicker between the concrete &glass. They haunt yet they'll not let me join with them. Not yet, they say. Live. Be joy. Finish the ink story. #fromoneline 434

#FromOneLine 434 The streets are full of ghosts. The attention to detail is astonishing: one family has co-ordinated their costumes to look like figures from an Edwardian photograph. The daughter holds open a parasol in the dark, twirling it lightly on her shoulder as they walk. Her mother watches.

#FromOneLine 434 The streets are full of ghosts. Over there: a girl once fled from a house after waking up in the wrong city. A faint trace of her is seen as she slips away. Rewind, play, rewind. On the corner: a woman with a shaved head and a small child. Her rage screams. Pretend not to hear.

#FromOneLine The streets are full of ghosts. I know because I'm one of them. Have been since I was murdered in 1757. On this street actually. Most people don't even know we're here but there are a few who can see us. You can tell because they are the ones who try to avoid us.

The streets are full of ghosts - shadows half-remembered from his youth. He greets them now with the nonchalance of memories casually lost, names he has discarded and left to desiccate in the untrammeled recesses of his mind. He sees them only as ancient mirages from the past... #FromOneLine 434

The streets are full of ghosts - shadows half-remembered from his youth. He greets them now with the nonchalance of memories casually lost, names he has discarded and left to desiccate in the untrammeled recesses of his mind. He sees them only as ancient mirages from the past, of little consequence.
     They search his face with vaguely hostile eyes. Nursing resentments they have borne these past years, that now bubble again under their breath. Sullen curses muttered, hexes spat behind him as he retraces his steps through their old stories. Their wounds have been slow to heal, on these dark streets. Scars have crusted the pain of his injustices, but now he is here again. His presence alone a threat. The memory of his obscene hunger daubing the grey sky with a burgeoning storm.

#Fromoneline The streets are full of ghosts Beaches littered with skeletons And a witch Lives in my forest At the edge of a clearing Their cottage a mirage Likes filaments Of a dream Woven by spiders Too small to see Or a whisp of wind Enchanted All Hallows Eve At the ready

The streets are full of ghosts, Vampires and monsters Nothing finer Than children's laughter Shouting trick or treat Their happier ever after Haven't been given up on Their imaginations intact Let them be happy Let's heal this world. #FromOneLine

#FromOneLine 434 The streets are full of ghosts due to active subscriptions. Accounts receivable agents demanding subscription payments clogged the underworld's 5G data service with calls & texts. Hades was peeved. "Haunt customer service until your subscriptions are cancelled," he told the dead.

The streets are full of ghosts As are attics and churches Someone crossed your grave You shiver You deny They are amused You’ll heed their call Maybe not today, perhaps not tomorrow But you can’t fight the inevitable. #FromOneLine 434

“The streets are full of ghosts.” My first time my grandmother told me that, I think I was little more than five. Probably getting ready to start school and no doubt ready to accept anything the old woman said at face value. #FromOneLine 434

#FromOneLine 434 The streets are full of ghosts... of yesterdays Gloaming in regret Cursed to roam this earth On Sisyphean tasks of milling around in confusion and hesitations On and on their cries lost among the blowing wind Every step retraced Day in day out Simply shells With no end in sight
