Chapter 1

"Felt like"

It had been two days since I had died. I had managed to not go insane but I was totally petrified by the whole thing. I had thought about a lot since I left. Including the possibility that it was all a trick, but I knew better. I trained myself to keep track of time, as there was nothing else to do, so that's why I knew that it was three days later when it happened. I was trying to meditate without a body and wasn't succeeding when I heard a man talking, "No no, that's not right" he sounded annoyed and concerned, as if something had gone wrong. I opened my eyes and saw a two men. One sitting in a chair at a desk wearing an army uniform and the other looming over him wearing a red suit. Hold on... Eyes? Yes! I had eyes again! I wasn't dead! It was all some weird dream! "Ha HA!" I shouted, but the men didn't so much as flinch (Hold on,) I thought to myself (I just pretty much screamed in their faces and they didn't even notice? That can't be right) I reached my hand toward the desk and my hand seemed to sink into it, only there was no resistance. It just went right through it like there was nothing there at all. There was a mirror on a wall, I went to it. I noticed something then. I could see myself in the mirror, but when I looked back at myself, I realised that I couldn't actually see myself if I wasn't looking in the mirror. Before when I had put my hand through the desk it had only felt like I had done it, I hadn't actually seen myself do it.

One day later, I had discovered three things. One, I was a ghost. Two, no one could see me unless they looked at me through a reflection. And three, if I didn't contact my family somehow, I would go insane.
