There are many ways to be haunted,
not all of them supematural.
From photo albums to love letters,
the memory of bad choices, broken promises,
lost loves, and shattered dleams can often linger
for longer than the glow of satisfaction
from our greatest accomplishments.
Indeed, the most frightening ways to be haunted
may be in the many ways we haunt ourselves.
