Death \Death\ (d[e^]th), n.
1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of
resuscitation, either in animals or plants.
[1913 Webster]

5. Personified: The destroyer of life, -- conventionally
represented as a skeleton with a scythe.
[1913 Webster]

Death hung over the land as if it were a morgue. Death that stole people from the world of the living, and brought them to where those with breath still in their lungs and color in their cheeks could not see them. But they were there, haunting with a new found passion, memories of pasts erased from their ghostly minds.

The spectors' minds were never clear. A sickly fog constantly held it's ground inside their translucent skulls, twisting and twining around every thought. The fog commanded everything it came in contact with to become fuzzy, and as a result, the ghosts were confused beings. Where were they going? What were they going to do? They themselves couldn't even answer these questions.

Spirits were not bound to one place. No, that would be too easy. They were cursed to roam without reason, memory, or direction, looking for the ones they once loved, who once loved them.

As if they could find them.

As if they could be seen.

No human could see ghosts. It was not within a human to be able to do this. But a supernatural being?

Now that's another matter.
