Summary
"If you will forgive," he continued, planting the edge of his shovel in the dirt. "I have read of ghosts going mad when untethered. Digging up your grave will surely anger you, but I want you to know that it is with the best intentions. I am a scientist, I have no need for a touch-starved ghost gone mad."
He began digging, his words trailing into silence as he grunted with the weight of each shovelful of dirt.
The moon stayed high in the sky as he dug, the piles of dirt around the grave growing larger as the night wore on. "I have also been told," he grunted as he hefted another shovelful up and away. "That you were buried without a coffin. I must be careful, do not wish to damage my prize."

Summary
"They think you mad," comes William's laughing voice as Wilson settles into his car, his groceries in the backseat. "Every last one of them."
"They can think it all they want," he mutters, smoothing his thumb over the locket once more. He hasn't lied to them, it was his mother's locket and when she passed away it was given to him by post. It had come with a letter from his father that had gone ignored on the kitchen table until William had pointed it out to him with a look on his face. "Perhaps I am mad."
"Consorting with ghosts and the like, oh perhaps you are quite mad," William agrees jovially.
