I do not own these characters, or the quote. Emily Bronte did, before she died. Now, I don't know who owns them, but not me.


"You say I killed you? Haunt me then. For the murdered do haunt their murderers... only do not leave me in this dark abyss..."

He begged that of my spirit, and my spirit was forced to comply with his pleading. I remained behind on this earth with my lover, attempting to ease his torured soul.

I failed.

And when he died, and went to the next world, he left me behind, thinking that I had already gone ahead. And so I remain, a whisper on the wind, awaiting the one who will save me and give me new life.

But none but the Lord can do that, and so I wait here until Judgement day, a punishment for my sins. I married the man I did not love, and the man I did love has gone ahead. And, I am no more now than a figment of the imagination, telling my story to those with hearts willing to listen.
