Meeting the Ghosts of Possibility

Write a narrative in which you encounter the ghosts of opportunities you have missed in the past.

Weighed against the inescapable reality of your current life, how would it feel to interact with the echo of what could have been? These ‘ghosts’ could take any form, manifesting as people, places, or events tied to decisions you made. This prompt indulges the tantalizing allure of the ‘what if’ while providing an opportunity to ruminate on decision-making, opportunity, and the shape our lives take due to the paths we choose or don’t choose.
