The Grave Dancer’s Romance

By G.E. Hofmann

Somewhere in old Wessex and modern Gloustershire an American stranger is coming to terms with the approaching end of his time. Too soon he thinks, and far too much time to be troubled by it. By pure accident he stumbles into a romance with an English maiden. Maybe real, maybe not. He is a man of too many years and too many secrets, she a maiden of too few. Somehow, he wins her over, or so it seems. If nothing else she is content to play her part, at least for a while, though she has no expectation of a storybook ending. For her the play's the thing, with a chance to experience an ecstasy of youth she missed in an earlier life. The stranger sails on, content with dreams of a happy present and determined to defy the auguries of time and fate.A troubled young girl enters the play in time to save the stranger from himself and loses herself along the way. All because she believes the stranger is the fabled Grave Dancer who saved her once before. Perhaps from herself. Whoever he once was, he fails the second chance as he must. Reality overwhelms dreams to the very end; plays end, life goes on, dreams shimmer into nothingness. Still, there had been a true romance once. A ghostly story some say.
