Let's #solve: Remember the legendary #Pacman computer game? The 4 main #ghosts who tried to catch the Pacman were called Inky, Blink, Pinky, and Clyde!

Ich habe auf Netflix #Ghosts geschaut. Eine zumindest in der ersten Staffel wirklich sehr tighte, lustige und gut gespielte Serie über Geister Verstorbener in einem alten Haus und eine Hausbesitzerin, die diese Geister sehen kann (deutsche Version furchtbar synchronisiert, aber in Englisch einfach toll!).

“it was not just a #prison they had arrived at. […] they may as well have been sent into space, nameless and forgotten. Holding my #camera, it was as if I watched them become #ghosts”
I enjoyed this hybrid piece about ghosts. It's a short and fascinating read. https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2021/09/16/all-you-have-to-do-is-die/ #GhostStories #ShortStory #PersonalEssay #HybridWriting #ghosts
