Sometimes in life there are things that we witness or even do ourselves that seem to haunt our very existence. These "ghosts" as we have come to call them--as if they actually have souls however small they may be--seem to overtake our minds at times. A few of my "ghosts" have become immortal.

I stand there staring into the pot slowly heating on the stove. As tiny bubbles begin to rise from the bottom I add a few pinches of kosher salt in encouragement.

Five hundred twenty six dollars and thirty four cents.

This is my paycheck after two weeks of full-time employment at the Thrift-Sak. It's enough to pay the rent two tanks of gas and the car insurance on my jalope of a ride.

My apartment is a complete shit-hole. When Sandra used to come over, she told me that the cockroaches were complaining.

“How did ya get ahold of them?” Felix Hatfield said with a little surprise. His friend Jerome Shockley was holding a small improvised bag made of burlap that held six potatoes of varying sizes which he had just removed from his knapsack. They served in the same Company E of the 114th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, or O.V.I. for short.
