My stories go on forever before the punchline. I call them Essays.

The first ghost was the one I saw after napping in Miriam’s garage apartment. I don^t know if it is a separate story or if it goes with Haruko’s. If I put it with Haruko^s, then it may change the nature of the essay from something to something. Maybe the whole point of writing all these is to find out what those somethings are.
