The Haunting of Cassie Palmer
One of the saddest photographs I have ever seen was of my late grandparents standing on a beach with my grandmother's brother and his wife, posing, in a sort of washed-out sunshine shot that could have been an image from the Other Side. I'm not sure what state they were in when they went to visit my Uncle, but all of those people are dead now, ghosts from a distant but not too remote past, caught in a timeless frame of flashbulb memory as the sunset on their eldering lives.
