the first time a ceremony Josephine was a summer night, not a week after the arson, when Sarah slept on her back in the bed, in the house, in the pines. In her dream, Josephine had been sitting on the ugly chair, gazing out the window bottle of pills balanced, precarious on the cell. Josephine had been crying, maniacal, hysterical laughter, sobs that shook the house that shook the bed. That woke Sarah up when Sarah woke up and the pills were gone because they were the dream. But Josephine was still there, still ghostly. Hello, Sarah asked. She was too scared to be scared. What's your name? Josephine asked. Sarah nails. I'm sorry. I'm in your house. I'm not Sarah nails. I'm glad you're here. Your something new to look at something beautiful, like the lands like the snow, like the blood like the birds moths. Dear Death Moon. Tell me something about yourself, Sarah said. I'm dead, Josephine said. Besides that, I'm lonely. Me to Josephine. Sarah had never seen ghosts. Not once in her life. She hadn't believed in them, and she hadn't disbelieved in them. Most interesting was to realize that she wasn't afraid of them. the things she was afraid of, or far worse, and then a dead woman. Will you come into bed with me? Sarah asked. I can't, Josephine said. I can't touch you. Justine stared for a moment, her eyes glistening with life. I can watch, though, that will do.
