In the Ghost Zone:
Heartbeats
November 8, 2012
The ghosts swarmed around the figure, each trying to get a better look at it.
"What is it?"
"A human?"
"It's hurt, I think."
"Why?"
"All of the red stuff. It's blood."
"Oh, is that what it is?"
"It's supposed to be inside it, not on the ground."
"Is… is it going to die?"
"Maybe. I don't know. But the blood is supposed to be inside."
"Can you help it?"
"I don't know how…"
"Well, isn't it supposed to be breathing?"
"Yes… I mean, I think so."
"And what about hearts? Humans have hearts, don't they? Heartbeats…"
"I… don't remember…"
I realized that even if ghosts wanted to help a human, they wouldn't really know how to go about it.
