The sound of crying hangs in the dim air. My boots are heavy on the floor as I move closer. You jerk away, a raw edge in your voice. 'Leave me alone!' I stop, hold for a second, then take a step back. I see the fresh terror that flickers across your face at the idea of me leaving. So I turn and come right back, a large, worn-looking brown teddy bear now cradled in my arms. 'Ghost isn't here, mate.. only me.' My voice is thick and calm, the English accent a steady presence, as I gently make the bear's hand wave back and forth, a silent gesture of comfort waiting for you to take it.
