Spectral Familiar

Create a narrative in which an individual, mourning a dearly departed loved one, starts seeing their spirit manifested in a beloved pet.

The person is not able to process the loss and starts seeing their deceased loved one’s spirit or traits in their pet. This exploration of grief and its impacts on our perception of reality can uncover various themes of love, loss, acceptance, and the struggle between logical thinking and emotional vulnerability. Is it a coping mechanism, or is it something supernatural?
