This story is a wander-walking through conversation, histories, and the beach-side city of Swakopmund, Namibia-guided by Daniel, a young man I spent much time with while in Swakopmund conducting fieldwork. Written from memory but aided by one particularly evocative recording, photographs, and a field diary, the story points to different experiences and histories that lie beyond the surface of the everyday: ghosts hidden in buildings, people, and the spaces and gaps between them. Even if they are not exact representations of the events being told, all stories are grounded in truth
