And Since Then...

And Since Then...

She had been hearing voices from the far and beyond; strangers paying unexpected visits in her dreams. Some earnestly sharing their darkest secrets while others resolutely keeping their distance, but frightening her nonetheless with their cold demeanour.

But she was living an irony she couldn't escape.

The strong desire for her deceased husband had opened the gates of the other world that grey damp night. "Hadn't I promised never to leave your side dear?", his jovial voice had beamed out of nowhere, silencing the crackling fire.

And since then...

    Don't know where my comment went so sending this again. This made me smile. The other side is always trying to communicate with us if we are receptive to it. Nice one.
