This piece gave me a lot of thought. My feeling is at one level its a ghost story and the character is talking to his fathers shade as a means to work through his grief and yet at another level that it is instead a metaphoric view on someone who feels thier life is crumbling around them. Who fears the future but accepts that the answer to his future lays in the ghosts of his past. I would love to know your thinking behind this piece. Milly x
