”Oh who is he?”

Thats the question everyone asks when the mysterious man shows up. Always silent. He does not talk, nor does he make a noise when he moves. His cane does not make a noise, neither does his breath. Though it’s assumed he doesn’t breathe at all. Nobody has seen his face, he’s faceless to everybody. If he even has a face is debatable and has been the subject of many class essays.

Viktor. That’s what the call him. Nobodies sure if it’s his real name, or if it’s just what he wants to be called. But either way, Viktor is the schools myth. A legend in most respects. He shows up randomly, minding his own business it seems. Reports say that he’s aware of the students and staff, waving or occasionally touching one. But he’d never actually spoken or been seen with his face. Even when light is shone on him, there is a shadow or something supernatural that covers his face.

Viktor has no ill intentions. Not that anyone can see. While he’s not playful like most assume a student’s ghost would be, he has never shown ill intentions. He’s seen mainly at night, normally around the men’s dorms on the 5 story around room 553. It’s assumed that’s where he died, but very little of the school’s past is available now as most of it’s been lost in the modern era of technology.

So no one really knows who he is.

Viktor did not mind the photographs, not that he shows up on any. Nor did he mind the smattering of students watching, talking to themselves and him, using devices that Viktor has never seen before to see if he’ll respond. He won’t, of course. It’s not like he can. But he does somewhat enjoy the attention. He walks the library often at night, but today unfortunately he was noticed by some late night studiers. He didn’t mind, but it was annoying that they kept following him, shining lights at his transparent body to try and see what he was made of. As if he knew that himself.
