Отрывок из книги
In folklore, mythology, and modern media such as literary fiction, a ghost (sometimes known as a spectre (British English) or specter (American English), phantom, apparition or spook) is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of a ghost vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a seance.
The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre literate cultures. Certain religious practices funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism, and ritual magic are specifically designed to rest the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.

I was at work and it was getting towards the end of the day. I was looking at my calendar and I started doodling flowers around Kiki's name. I had marked the day that he passed away. I'm not sure why I did this, I just did. Then I picked up "High Desert Dog" magazine that was on my book self. I forgot it was there. The first page that I opened up and looked at was a page that Kiki was on. I had entered him into a contest the year before and he made it into the magazine. I looked at the picture closely; it was Kiki in his prime, surrounded by beautiful yellow flowers. I felt happy looking at him and I smiled. I felt like it was his way of saying hello.
