Mantle

 I dreamed this story in June

 The first 19 minutes of sleep.
  Ghost sees people.  She lives among other ghosts in the city of Dark vibrations, and sees people.  She hides this feature from other ghosts, because if someone finds out about this feature of hers, then she will have to go to another job, to another level, where there is almost no memory of the past.

 15 minutes sleep

 The ghost is in a high position, she works in the department of souls.  Responsible for ensuring that there is a balance on the earth.  For ten good souls that newborns will receive, one soul will be dark, evil.  True, these features will appear in babies only when they grow up.
 3. The duty of a ghost is to patrol the world of people.  Once a week, ghosts from the Department of Souls are forced to take the form of people.  The employees of the ghost department are very dissatisfied with such work.  After each patrol day, the desk of the head of the department is littered with reports and reports.  But the chief cannot do anything, such is the order from above.

 2 minutes sleep.

 Department workers bring a sealed coin from the patrol.  From now on, runaway evil spirits who wanted to stay in the world of people will languish in the coin.

 4 minutes sleep.

 Our heroine differs from her colleagues in that she sees not just souls, but people within whom these living souls live.  She sees people completely as beings with flesh and blood.  This vision is missing from her colleagues from the department.  Colleagues see only souls, and even then not everything, but only runaway souls.  The souls of dead people who did not leave the earth after death. Living people, employees of the department of dark vibrations, are not interested.

 40 seconds sleep

 The mantle, that is the name of our heroine, also did not differ from her colleagues three weeks earlier, until one extraordinary incident occurred.

 10 minutes sleep.

 There is also a department of light vibrations.  The ghosts who work there must make sure that the souls of good people leave the world of the living on time.  For such souls, a special bathhouse has been built with separate rooms, where souls can be cleansed of their past life and go to meet the future.  However, the employees of the light and dark departments do not like each other, too many claims have accumulated over the centuries of work. Sometimes only Perun, the god of lightning, could resolve a dispute between departments. Perun is the last resort, after his decision the disputes ceased, but the annoyance remained.

 Half an hour sleep.

 For the employees of the Department of Dark Vibrations, the whole earth is like a flat plateau.  They do not see the borders separating countries, they do not see living people, their job is to track the dark vibrations emitted by evil souls lingering on earth.  Every morning in the dark vibration department starts the same way.  Department employees gather in a huge conference room, computers are already connected.  As soon as the light goes out, a map of the Earth appears on the screen, red dots flashing here and there, these are the dark souls lost in the earthly world.  The employees of the Department of Dark Vibrations were once people too.  These people have remained in the history of generations as people who have done the greatest good for the inhabitants of the earth.  Therefore, after the death of their souls, instead of being reborn, they were left to work in the department of dark vibrations.  On the contrary, in the department of light vibrations, people worked who proved themselves during their lifetime as desperate villains.  There were commanders who destroyed country after country during their lifetime.  This is just one example of someone who worked in the Department of Light Vibrations.
 That's how it was with these two departments.
 6 minutes sleep

 The morning for the employees of the department of light vibrations began the same way as for the employees of the department of dark vibrations.  The light vibration department's conference room was the twin brother of the dark vibration department.  There was the same interactive map, there were the same new computers that could be used to track the lost souls.

 Twenty nine minutes of sleep.

 Mantia has been working in the Department of Dark Vibrations for the third century.  She liked her work.  Sometimes this work was quite monotonous, but it was satisfying.  The employees of the Department of Dark Vibrations knew very well and kept track of time, they knew exactly how long they were working in this Department.  In a week it would have been 300 years since the Mantle started working in the dark vibrations department.  She knew that her colleagues and subordinates were preparing a big celebration.  However, there was nothing new in this, every 100 years the work in the department was celebrated very magnificently and on a large scale.

 Twenty seconds of sleep.

  And it was necessary for this to happen, That right now, at the moment when the Mantle was supposed to turn 300 years old, she began to see not only the souls of people, but also their bodies.  Once she got to the city, where the usual daily life of the inhabitants of the planet Earth twisted.

 One and a half minutes of sleep.

 And this is how it happened:
 Mantle had a dream.  In fact, it was not customary to talk about this in the department of dark vibrations, but the ghosts also had dreams.  These were echoes of their past life or foresight of the future.  In general, everything is like with people.
 The dream was like this: Mantia dreamed that she was a little girl, she calmly walks along an ordinary city road.  The road turns to the right.  The girl sees adult men, they peacefully talk about something.  The men are about to disperse in different directions, and the Mantle walks in the direction of one of the men.  Suddenly, at the moment when the Mantle almost caught up with the man, he took off his white jacket, which he had previously hung on a tree branch, and gave this jacket to the girl.  The mantle took the jacket as if nothing had happened, it happens in a dream, and, without stopping, moved on.
 The man who gave the jacket probably left shortly after, but the second man, who had spoken to the first man earlier, suddenly went berserk.  He pulled out a submachine gun from under his jacket and started shooting at the girl.  The girl ran with all her might, she felt the heat from the bullets that flew past in a whirlwind, but for some reason the white jacket protected the girl, the girl ran forward, and the pursuer caught up with her.  The cloak ran into the midst of the children.  A group from the kindergarten, led by a teacher, at that moment went for a walk, a flurry of screams and tears began.  The teacher tried to cover the children with her body, there were too many children, they cried and tried to run in different directions.  How the story with the children ended, Mantia did not know.  Unfortunately, she had to escape. In front of her was a door to an ordinary apartment building.  The house was old, it had many nooks and crannies, sudden voids, ups and downs, and absolutely illogical descents.  The cloak ran up the stairs, and the sound of machine-gun fire suddenly pierced the emptiness of the entrance.  Mantia fled with all his strength, running to the fourth floor, she saw corridors on both sides.  Without thinking, she rushed into the left corridor.  She clearly heard where the pursuer was running, because the man fired from a machine gun.  Despite the panic, Mantle tried to find her way down.  And it succeeded.  When she was already on the second floor, she suddenly saw a small window that was under the stairs.  The window did not lead to the street.  It was an inner window.  It was so small that even a girl squeezed her way into it with difficulty.  After she climbed through the window, she fell on something hard.  It was very dark.  The mantle fell into a dark room.  But she wasn't afraid.  Curling into a ball, she rubbed the place of impact, then plugged her ears and instantly fell into a half-asleep half-consciousness.
 When Mantle awoke, she could have sworn that her heart was beating wildly, although she knew very well that ghosts do not have a heart.  The dream was terrible.  Remembering the events of the dream, Mantle was relieved that she was not a human, but a ghost.  However, after this dream, she began to see people in the flesh, and not just their souls.
