Variations of a Brother War ( Probabilities Triptych ) - 3

J. A. Tyler

Ghosts

What it means to be a ghost is what it means to lose. What it means to be a ghost is what it means when a war goes on without soldiers. What it means to be a ghost is to find no return. What it means to be a ghost is to see a sheen of darkness over all the bright. What it means to be a ghost is that this war has eaten Gideon. What it means to be a ghost is what it means to have learned stopping. What it means to be a ghost is to cease.
