And Mira

Death is a dagger Concealed in a cloak. Viewed through a mirror Obscured by smoke Megomike So begins the story of Mira. For most the war is over but for one girl it has just begun. Set just after World War II AND MIRA starts out in the gentle surroundings of a nursery school in Midwestern United States. Not yet two years old Miras dreams are filled with the image of a deformed emaciated child she does not quite remember. When one of the children at her school succumbs to pneumonia she cannot help but feel that it is not one of the typical deaths common to children in her day but rather somehow connected to the chalky child of her dreams. AND MIRA is a traditional-style ghost story set against the backdrop of American pop culture from the 1940s to the present day. Unique to this story AND MIRA follows the haunting of the protagonist and her loved ones from the beginning of her life to the very end. As she grows so matures the ghost that haunts her dreams and memories and his appetite for the deaths of those she cares for evolves as well. Mira must make her way through a world that does not believe in ghosts to determine the identity of this tortured phantom that threatens everyone she holds dear before it destroys them all!
