Claire Fraser : I've never been afraid of ghosts. I live with them daily, after all. When I look in a mirror, my mother's eyes look back at me; my mouth curls with the smile that lured my great-grandfather to the fate that was me. Of course, it isn't these homely ghosts, that trouble sleep, and curdle wakefulness. Look back, hold the torch to light the recesses of the dark. Listen to the footsteps that echo when you walk alone. All the time, ghosts flit past and through us, hiding in the future. Each ghost comes unbidden from the misty grounds of dreams and silence. Our rational minds say, "No, it isn't." But another part, an older part, echoes always softly in the dark, "Yes, but it could be." By blood, and by choice, we make our ghosts. We haunt ourselves.
