Prose Nocturnes: Tradition; Then Individual Talent
The vocation was a family tradition---local graveyard's caretaker---your father, his father, and his father before him, all served long years with honor and dignity. Awkward and clumsy, you have been unable to secure, let alone retain, such aposition: but the numerous runaways, hitchikers, drug addicts, whores, and other thrown away lives that you have murdered and buried in the forested acreage of your inherited estate qualifies you, in your own way, as the caretaker of many unmarked graves, a cemetery of your own making and pleasure.

Thank you. And, honestly, I
Thank you. And, honestly, I am not quite used to writing prose in this way. One of my early amitions (high school) was to write ghost stories, but the traditional form was too detailed and too "chatty" for my purpose. I liked the quick approach and conclusion, like the way MTV was when it actually ran music videos (although MTV had not yet been heard of). I just stumbled across two websites, each with 20 two sentence ghost stories, some very horrible and shocking. Ironically, I have written more ghost stories in the last 24 hours than I had accomplished since 1974.
