We all know what
SEANCES
are.
Speak to a loved, lost one.
It's all fun and games.
Hold hands.
Concentrate on the one you love.
You giggle as the sound
of chanting amuses you.
Your fingers tingle
with anticipation.
You can't wait to
see them again.
Just one last time.
Just one last
"I'll love you forever."
You watch in fascination as each person in the circle,
communes with an unseen
loved one.
The psychic turns to you.
"Your turn." She smiles.
You eagerly tell her their name.
She chants and chants.
And chants.
Nothing.
Nobody.
You frown in dissapointment.
The psychic stares at you.
"The spirits tell me,
that there is nobody
of the name,
you speak of?"
Shocked, you withdraw your hands.
"No, no!" you yell.
"You see,
the person I wanted to see...
is still alive.
But they're lost.
They're lost to me."
