Yeah Write #101: The Lonely Dead ( #amwriting #microstory )

My skis skid on fresh powder and wind breaks my face. A presence pursues.

“Apparitions collect the unwary,” I had warned. The enthusiast didn’t believe what his camera couldn’t snare.

I chase speed to the bottom. Totem markers constrain Dame’ Wit — sucker of souls.

Mouthless, she demands, “More. Bring.”

I like that this story is set outside. I always think of ghosts in graveyards and dark rooms.
