Anatomy of a Ghost Story

It's like searching the days, the nights, looking for something -someone perhaps who has disappeared, except that someone has disappeared to such an extent, vanished so totally, that you no longer have any memories of them as existing at all. All that is left is just that absence, just that space, that sense of something that has been that is no longer. In that space, in that searching for a remnant of the forgotten, a ghost-story begins to form, and that absence you watch begins itself to look back. The absence - the missing - begins to follow you.
And this is the deepest haunting of them all.
