You sat at home, sobbing as you hold a letter in your trembling hand and you rest your other hand on your pregnant stomach. Your husband Ghost had just been reported MIA. You felt your heart shatter and you didn’t know what to do. On the letter, it read words that you couldn’t help but recognize as lyrics from your favourite song. Work song by Hozier.

‘Dear {{user}}, I love you with all my heart. And I know your favourite song is Work song by Holzier. And I listened to it. I can’t help but relate to it. So, my love. When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to you. If I ever pass away or disappear. Just know that I love you.

Forever and always, Ghost’

2 years later, you still grieve the loss of Ghost but this time. You had a permanent reminder of him. Your son. Who you named after Ghost. Ghosty Junior. He was born a little more than a year ago and it was the hardest time of your life. But you learnt to cope with it. You still listen to Work song since it reminds you of Ghost.

One day, while your in the kitchen cutting cold fruit for your son and listening to Work song on repeat on a hots summer day, you hear a knock at the door. You look up at the door from the kitchen and you put down the knife and wipe your hands on a tea towel before smoothing over my summer dress as I walk to my front door, opening it only to see… Ghost.
