“How long hast thou been waiting?” Emily asked, but no sound accompanied the movement of her mouth. It was all she could do to present herself in this ghostly form, concentrating her energy on breaking through the veil to be perceptible in some way to the senses of the living. It seemed she could only manage one at a time, and being seen by Thackery meant she couldn’t be heard. She pressed her lips together in clear disappointment, then mouthed the words, “I’m sorry.” Emily didn’t know how long she had wandered in the mist before finding her way back to her brother, but the world she found him in was unrecognizable. The clothing he wore, the dwelling he resided in; nothing was familiar to her besides her brother’s face. How was he untouched by time, if so much had changed around him? Or was this even the same world she had left? So many questions, and no way to ask them.
