The Man in Black: A Ghost Story Page 4


  Once he’d dried off properly I attached his new identity. It fit perfect. I petted him until he’d had enough, then got myself out of my wet underwear and into some thick clothes, ready for bed.

  I looked over at the dog, his nose in the food, his wounds clean and his coat fluffy. His new name suited him; it jangled beneath the stove light.

  The smell of bacon fat floated down the stairs, and somewhere behind me the Man in black watched, and that was alright. I smiled properly for the first time in a long time.

  Red was home, and so was I.
