I pick up a brush or place hands on the keys; the ghosts come out to share.

They’re bored, they’re lonely, with stories to tell.

They fib, omit, exaggerate.
They dream, they yearn, imaginate.

My hands are possessed. Others say I make art.

My beloved ghosts and I know better.

Maura’s ghosts are behind some cool microfiction published in 50-Word Stories, The Drabble, and Microfiction Monday Magazine, and some hot flash published in The Fiction Pool, Zeroflash, and The Dirty Pool. The ghosts also maintain a website at maurayzmore.com and tweet as @MauraYzmore.
