A Darkness Of Mind
Drake's fate was determined the day his father was killed.
Ghosts do not often commit murder. They haunt. They instill fear. They might so inhabit a person's psyche as to drive her to suicide. But actual slaughter is rare.
Drake’s father was murdered by a ghost, and on that day Drake became a ghost hunter.
He inhabited the darkness. He learned about betrayal and lonely hearts and the isolation of eternity. He drank in whispers and sang of misfortune.
He became a lost soul. So it was that upon his death, he knew that he himself would become a ghost.
