The Jacob Marley back story
The classic Jacob Marley type ghost is cursed to walk the earth with all the karma baggage from life.
Do ghosts also carry with them the marks of their demise? This one appears to have some kind of horrifying disfigurement.
Karma's bad enough when you're alive, but it passes by with time, right? Doesn't karma happen and then disappear into the past?
Maybe karma walks itself down the street and ducks into an alley, then turns around and follows behind you, making sure you don't see it. Maybe it tries to catch up to you but cannot as long as you keep moving and keep breathing. Then it swallows your soul as you lie trapped in your cold grave.
This ghost seems to be overflowing with rage and frustration. He would like to reach out and squeeze the life out of everything, but he's trapped forever in his netherworld. His karma swirling about him forever taunting and torturing him.
What's your karma?
