send the ghosts on their way



He’ll watch them filing from the church across the street, so cold the air is silver, arms wound tightly around red leather bibles. They’ll move towards their gold, tan and blue cars and just for a moment, he’ll envy them. He’ll imagine them baptized in cool, winter water, their open eyes seeing something in Heaven to believe.

He’ll imagine them groaning in graves as he wonders where their faith has led them. Don't they understand they’re dead?

He’ll salt them and light the match, dropping the flame on their bones and watch them burn while he lives someone else’s tomorrow.

Really gorgeous-- the imagery, the theme, and then the final line is a killer. :)

Thank you so much! The fic was built around that whole last line. Not enough for a full-blown story, but just enough for a drabble.
