Ghost in the Shell

I don’t like titles. They are hard to come up with (my shortcoming), give away the rest of the story, grab attention unnecessarily from the rest of the text.

Yet I see its need. Casual readers aren’t expected to commit to reading a thousand-word article without any idea of what they’re getting into. I don’t expect that of myself.

The onus on is me, the creator. Not for the sake of the reader, but for the sake of the writing. If the piece is to be properly evaluated, it should be formally given a name—an identifier aptly representing its soul.
