And it was a relief when the latter became the norm and we lapsed back to our old selves, as our grandmother’s presence in the house made it small in more ways than simply five people pushing against one another in a scarcity of rooms. Some days, I pretended that she had died in the night and the speechless, empty-eyed woman who’s steps made no sound was a ghost. Or if a ghost is the essence of a person moved on from their body, I was more inclined to pretend that she was the opposite - a husk. Waking dead was a phrase that Finley used once, and I latched onto as my own way of thinking of her on those days she was at her worst.

Today I began working on a story-line and motif that I've been planning for years and written excerpts of but which I hadn't begun to implement with the main narrative.
