It must be the time of year.
The wind.
The early twilight.
I see three years ago peeping at me from corners and turn on more lights to drive the shadows from my space.
I read my old Constantine comics, reveling in glorious pointlessness until something looms up and smacks me back to earth.
I am robbed of pleasure while I move to keep one step ahead of my ghosts.
That is my primary task these days, staying one step ahead of the memories waiting to pull me back to them.
I want to ask my therapist "When will I stop being haunted?" but I am sure she would think me crazier then we both know I am.
I consider building a bonfire and throwing scraps of reminiscence into the flames. I will chant secret words and rebuild walls of protection.
The winter will be long and I have no extra anima to spare.
