Ghosts and Their Hobbies

Five rooms in a brown frame show what a house of ghosts does with its free time. In the top left Hobby Lounge, two ghosts play flutes on a green sofa while a third lays out a model railway beside a toy cottage. Next door, one ghost paints a face on an easel and another takes notes by a round board of nose and eye samples, among old portraits. Bottom left, a reception desk has a ghost shopkeeper, an elderly ghost with beads, cobwebs, little haunted houses and a timeline on the wall. In the middle, a ghost throws a jug at a pottery wheel while a living child holds a finished vase before shelves of bowls. At right, two ghosts take tea at a round table beneath an Unfinished Business board, among filing drawers and suitcases. Pale ghosts stand out against the warm wallpaper wherever they drift, small white islands to work outward from.
