The fog was where I wanted to be. Halfway down the path you cant see this house. Youd never know it was here. Or any of the other places down the avenue. I couldnt see but a few feet ahead. I didnt meet a soul. Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. Thats what I wantedto be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. Out beyond the harbor, where the road runs along the beach, I even lost the feeling of being on land. The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea. As if I had drowned long ago. As if I was the ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.
