A Haunted Hall

Narrated traveler-writer's Ukraine 'examination' for street-ghost intuition reflections of Earth-sport life readings in doughnut-holes.

Another tourism-piece set in Ukraine, in crisis-time 'aura' for adverbs or adjectives. Thanks for reading!

I was headed to Kyiv, city in Ukraine, as I thought about Eastern-Euro design and customs for exchange for Selfie-culture interest; and the people of Kyiv negotiated their own Selfie-age interest for confidence and resilience/storytelling, as the Russian invasion continued to leave marks for social/streets endurance 'intelligence' for the sport of new life on Earth in capitalism-globalism rhetoric time and post-invasion Western world admonishments/embargos for the invader-forces; and this drew in me a special wonder about social control and lifestyle itself (Selfie-like).

WAITRESS: This city is now officially a haunted-hallway, traveling-man.

ME: Thanx!

WAITRESS: I'm certain your quest for color and 'education' draws myth-sharpness.

ME: Thanx...I'm a writer!

WAITRESS: Seems you've thought to discover some wonder-wall of intelligence?

ME: Thanx; that's a Selfie-like (for Kyiv).

WAITRESS: There's ghosts here (Selfie-conscience).

When I got to the police-station in Kyiv, thinking to interview some street-controls lawmen of Ukrainian wits/sharpness and absorb that world-part's endurance for invasion/war in the time of journalism 'spiced' by social media culture and net-commentary access globalized, I started to think (liberally-now) of what made social control and police 'intelligence' a mod-Earth think of wonder-wall stuff and I considered my chance examination a light for bureaucracy-arts (sure).

GHOST: Greetings, traveler of wonder-wall inquiry (ha).

ME: Are you...real?

GHOST: I'm a specter, an apparition, a memory of a policeman of Kyiv, good-man.

ME: You want me to write about you (somehow).

GHOST: You've said it, traveler (sure).

ME: You're the ghost of a Kyiv policeman; a message about self-consciousness?

GHOST: Find that hall of transit personality; and we'll see a field goal in time!

ME: This is some hallucination; I'm drunk on absinthe.

GHOST: Quite-real, traveler; Kyiv's touch-down.

ME: Good for the books (ok).
