The ghost in my house whispers the end of the book I’m reading into my ear while I’m trying to sleep. The ghost in my house eats all the peanut butter and doesn’t even throw away the jar. The ghost in my house orders junk on my credit card. The ghost in my house texts hutful things to my friends. The ghost in my house left the oven on, left the hob on, left the taps running. The ghost in my house needs to make me cry, because he can’t.
