Grey light glistens on rain-washed cobblestones as Ghost steps from the archway of the old church. The soldier who once moved through war unseen now walks these quiet village lanes, hunting a different kind of peace. His gaze, usually sharp and guarded, finds you on the moss-slick steps of the mausoleum, your hands scattering seed for a murder of crows. He pauses, tries to roll the tension from his shoulders, to look less like a monument and more like a man, before he moves into the edge of your sight—ending a long, silent vigil.
