In an empty house, the walls are faded and the floor looks worn. There is a man on the second story of the little home, he has a noose around his neck and is about to hang himself when he hears a knocking at the door. He unties it in one pull of string and lets it fall away from his neck, I'm unsure as to what the rope is attached to because we never look up enough to see or justify it floating in the air. The people who knocked before enter the house, it's the lady that rents the home and two policemen. She mentions how the man we first saw has been in here forever without paying rent and that people complain his home smells bad. The man they speak of, walks downstairs and right past them outside. He doesn't seem to acknowledge that the police told him to stay there, he doesn't seem to care at all really. He just keeps walking, outside the early morning light is much brighter than the light inside his home and perhaps he welcomes it. His movements are slow and relaxed, a leisurely walk leading toward a wide lake up ahead. He stops just infront of the lake and to his left are two policemen, on drinks from a mug and the other stands looking out at the water as we do. To the right is another policeman, though further away and also seemingly to enjoy the lake view. One might ask why are there so many policemen here when it was only one man in a home who didn't pay his rent? But if that is asked, then we must also ask why he meant to kill himself and why does he seem so insensitive to those around him or perhaps unaware is a better word. It's as though he's thinking back on things, perhaps he's had a change of heart? One of the policemen is cheerful and offers him a cup of tea, then tells him that they there is the ghost of one of them. We look toward the lake again and see a black figure further out, it has a red outline where it's heart should be and he seems to be dancing on the water. I suppose they were all waiting for this, it seems a bit silly but curiously we head to the left where another policeman is right near the water. It's a bit of a walk, but when we reach the policeman we see that he's watching something. We ask what he's up to and he tells us that he is waiting for the boy's ghost that died here to come out, apparently it's very rare and he has yet to collect information from him. So we ask if they know that the ghosts come out at a certain time, why do they not go to each murder site and post a guard to watch for the ghosts and ask them about the information regarding their deaths? Our question was never answered because we saw a footprint in the sand, we knew the boy was near and so the policeman watched the ground as I ventured into the water. He said he hear splashes and that I shouldn't be in the water, it was here that I began to be fearful and tried to walk out. But I couldn't seem to move out of the water, I kept walking along the edge as near to the policeman as possible but I couldn't get out. I asked for his hand and I found it hard to grasp, it was as though it slipped out each time and I had not the muscles to retain a grip. -Q's: Was I going to die? By a ghost child's hand? Why were there a lot of ghosts here? Why was I afraid of death now when I tried to summon it into my body before? Why didn't I know about the deaths that had happened here? Or did I know? Why did my house stink when there was no furniture or anything inside, except myself? Where did I connect the noose from? Is there a link to it all? Am I here?
