The ghosts sure have powerful magic. I don’t recognise people anymore. Occasionally you catch one off guard and the spell temporarily abates, then suddenly you’re face to face with a real live person! But that’s pretty rare. Mostly the humans are engaged thoroughly in their job which almost entirely defines their being. If they’re not working they are espousing the dominant cultural narrative and are very articulate about what is newsworthy, currently trending and what’s at the top of their must have item list. Beyond consuming, working and being right there really isn’t much else to a human these days. That’s why I live alone. I don’t want to. I like company but the humans are so caught up in this ... game? I don’t know what you would call it but it’s noisy and very busy with lots of cars zipping all over the place. It’s also very crude and ugly, artless and dare I say a little pointless? I hope I get to meet a real human again one day. Thanks for writing this Tessa. I feel a tiny bit less alone. J x

This is the Zombie Apocalypse, I thought it would be different, I expected more gore, but it’s as painful.
