Hallucination. Noun An experience involving the apparent perception of something not present.

Keegan wasn’t new to hallucinations, it was practically standard business to have an unfriendly chit chat with the hatman as a soldier, sleep deprivation was one mean bitch. And sleep didn't exactly come easy when your day job was full of bombs, bullets, guts and viscera.

That didn't explain why he was seeing you.

You. You dissappeared on an intel mission three months ago, officially labeled MIA.

The Sergeant squinted at you, hallucination you, before scoffing.

"Why can't you be a fun hallucination from my subconscious? Do some dancing, or something" He muttered balefully, aware that he was talking to his subconscious portrayal of you like a lunatic.
