Egotober Day 28: Ghost
There was a cabin the middle of the woods around the old manor, the one that was supposedly haunted after a party gone wrong so no one came near it. No one knew that a man with no shadow and a man that walked in and out of reality had taken it as their home and brought in others like a bunch of strays to live in the manor again. What they would do to keep their home safe from prying eyes.
But the cabin, oh everyone knew about it. It was haunted by the owner’s ghost, he’d been a famous writer especially for horror and thriller. Fans wrote to him and told him how much he scared them, how the characters felt so real in his books. The writer would just smile like he knew a secret they didn’t and nod, thank them for their praise.
The writer always did have an ego…perhaps that was what cost him so much Hmm? He crossed the wrong person, wrote something someone more unstable took offense too, got too close to a dangerous muse that took what he wrote too literally….or maybe it was something else?
Maybe he dabbled in powers he didn’t understand and it drove him mad, maybe he took for granted the power at his fingertips and it turned on him and made him the victim, maybe he looked into the future and saw something he shouldn’t have-or maybe…it’s none of those things but something else entirely.
Maybe he grew tired of feeling constrained, chained to his desk by the pen and paper he used to craft reality to his taste, maybe he wanted to have more freedom and power to make things his with just a word, but there was a price. These things always come with a price….
Maybe that’s why the ghost of the writer is said to be without his eyes…wearing a bloody blindfold but with a secretive smile on his lips as he makes reality listen to every word he speaks.
