-"Wait, you can actually see me?"

-"Looks like it! Aren't you supposed to be dead? "

-"I am dead."

-"Then please explain to me why you're lying on our bed and how you can talk, cause you look very much alive to me."

-"Celeste, I don't know how I'm able to talk to you and how you can see me, but at least we're still together."

-"But we're not suposed to! You need to be dead, lying in a casket, while I mourn you for monthes, until I decide to start dating again, Michael, that's how the circle of life goes!" Celeste says as she walks out of the bedroom. She washes her face and brushes her teeth when she hears a knock on the door. 

She goes to answer it and finds her step-mom holding a tissue to her face.

-"Hello, darling" she says in her chic british accent, as she invites herself in, "How are you holding up?"

-"Hi, miss Haynes... I'm alright."

-"He was too young..."

-"Not to sound rude, but how did you find out that quick?" 

-"Well the police officers called me cause you didn't bother too, so I flew in as soon as I found out."

 Did she just actually said that? Sorry I was too busy crying my eyes out when I found out my husband died Miss Haynes, Celeste thought to herself.

"Mother?" Michael asked behind Celeste.

-"Michael, now's not the time!" The widow said out loud.

-"Are you alright, dear?" Miss Haynes said, visibly concerned about what her step-daughter just said. 

-"Oh... uh, yeah I'm fine."

-"You look very shaken up, Celeste." The british lady said brushing her hand against Celeste's cheek. 

-"No, I'm fine Miss Haynes, I'm just still shocked."

-"You know dear, don't take this the wrong way but, maybe you should seek mental help... you've been clearly seeing Michael and maybe you just need to express yourself."

I just want her to leave, Celeste thought. 

-"I'll think about it."

-"Alright, well I'll be heading out then, take care darling." the step-mom says as she closes te front door behind her. 

Finally. 

"I'm hungry babe."

-"What? How can you be hungry if your a ghost?" 

"I don't know but my stomache hurts and I need food."

-"Fine, there's cookies in the pantry."

"I know." the ghost says as he walks towards the pantry. He takes out the box of cookies and starts to devore them, one by one.

-"Can you maybe not eat all of them?" Celeste asked sarcastically. 

"Shut up." 

-"Excuse me? I'm the one that's still alive here, pretty boy."

"Oof, alright you win that one. I'll leave you three cookies."

-"How generously kind of you."

"I know, I'm the best" Michael said with a wink.
