ghoul
raze
there's
a
fire
truck
on
top
of
my
typewriter
,
upended
and
unoccupied,
cradled
by
cream
-coloured
keys
.
its
chassis straddles
the
space
between
the
seventh
and
twelfth
letters
of
the
latin
alphabet
.
i
follow
the
trail
above
and
around
this
breathless
body
painted
red
and
get
"ghoul",
with
the
o
and
the
u
out
of
order
.
so
who's
haunting
this
house
,
and
what
are
they
trying
to
tell
me
?
there
must
be
better
ways
of
making
your
presence
known
than
dropping
a
die
-cast
scale
model
vehicle
in
a
place
it
couldn't
have
moved
to
on
its
own
.
unless
i've
just
been
pranked
by
a
mouse
with
a
strange
sense
of
humour.
hell
,
it
wouldn't
be
the
first
time
.
