Get Inside Your Character's Head!

You can find the full questionnaire here.  I'm going to do a few random questions as the mood strikes. :)

25. How do they see themselves five years from today? 

This is a bit tricky, because it depends on what age in his life we're talking about.

Young Emmanuel (age 8-10): Emmanuel thinks fifteen is a long way off, but imagines he'll be happy.  He sees himself and his siblings getting along, and in particular dreams of being best friends with Ezekiel.  He hopes his older brother will teach him everything, especially how to drive a car!

Ghost (late teens, early to mid twenties): Before the outbreak, Ghost sees himself living Boston and continuing his work with the paranormal group.  In his secret fantasies he becomes well known and respected as a paranormal researcher, and goes home to his family to show them what he's made of himself.  He aims to get a house and bring Ruth out there to live with him eventual.  After the outbreak, he honestly doesn't know. Given the chaos and the threat of death, he can't see much past tomorrow, let alone five years down the road.

Emmanuel (late twenties, early-mid thirties): Emmanuel's dreams are a mix of those in his younger days.  Things are still dangerous, so he does have some doubt about how feasible a five-year plan is.  Personally he hopes to settle down with Tomás and Isobel, and to bring his family closer to him.  On a larger scale, he works with the group to try and find a way to stop the outbreak and create a cure for those afflicted.  He hopes that in five years time things will get better.
