Here are a few extracts:
Scenario: BILL IS IN THE WOODS:
Wit Woo...Wit Woo...Wit Woo...
The darkness in the woods is unyielding. The owls,
hidden, but not unheard know that I am here. I can't
make out what the shrieking sound is that's cutting
through ahead of me. I've not heard it before. I'm
taking my nightly walk, an hour or so later than
usual...
Something was passing very quickly by the left-hand
side of my face. I think it might have been a bat. But bats make a
certain sound, whereas this was more a whoosh...Perhaps it wasn't
anything flying, but 'something' disembodied? I'm quick to reach this
conclusion. We have these discussions she and I. About how, what are
regarded as 'ghosts' are not what
they are assumed to be. These kind of things spring
to mind here, while vulnerable in this way. Is it
because there really is something here? There it goes
again. I ought to be afraid. The mind conjures all
manner of things of myth. A spirit woman, laden with
lust, running by me. A spirit boy, spitting dark
light. Something connected to the cosmos, most
likely?...
There it passes again. That sweeping motion, close by
my head. This time it was straight across my eyes,
close, perhaps even encompassing part of my head in
its traverse. Scary. My awareness seemed to follow
in its path that time. As though taken away for a
while...
Scenario: BILL IS ON THE MOORS:
This place I've come to...It's as though a Winter
moment has leapt back to become frozen in time. It
was bright about an hour ago. It must be something
to do with the elevation. There are the remaining
stones of a house, long gone. I'm wondering who'd
chosen to live in such desolation? Why here and not
close to a village or to a town?...
It makes me think of the life's fleeting certainty.
How cruelly short life is in duration. Yet, this wind
and the fast darkening sky is perpetual. As is the
shifting of the weeds and the dust...
Scenario: BILL IS SOMEWHERE. NOWHERE. EVERYWHERE :
William. The ghost. Where on the unified stream
does appear what to we is completely unintelligible
intention? As it impinges?.. And has the capacity to
both terrify us and to destroy us altogether?...
