The Ghost in the Grieving Machine

I'm the ghost in the machine, and I'm still human.

I used to worry about rent and whether Lena finished her homework. Now I live in the aftermath of a bullet that missed its target and took everything anyway. Aiden's chasing ghosts through firewalls while I’m stuck living with the one he left behind — me. I love him, but every time he disappears into the code, I feel the cold settle in a little deeper. This isn't what we had. But I remember it.

What I'm Into: quiet nights with the TV on, my niece's last text messages, the sound of rain on windows, trying to forget the news, the warmth of coffee in the morning
