Purgatorial Memories

Write a tale about a ghost who is stuck in purgatory, forced to relive its most traumatic human experiences.

Unlike most ghost stories, in this prompt, the ghost is the victim facing its past traumas. This emphasizes themes of regret, guilt, forgiveness, and redemption. Explore how the ghost handles its past. Does it learn to accept and forgive, or does it plunge deeper into despair? What impact does witnessing these memories have on any living person who encounters the ghost?
