"Your carriage has arrived." He said as he picked up my hand and kissed it. "You look stunning!"
"You picked it out. You know me so well."
"I'm glad you think so."
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise. Just get in the car." He smiled. I walked up to his red Volvo. He opened the passanger seat door. I got in as he walked to the other side. It's been a long time since I've been in a car. I pulled on the seat belt as he opened the door. He got in and started the car and pulled on his seat belt. He drove forward and off we went.

We pulled up to The Star's Restaurant.  He opened my door and held out his arm. I grabbed it and pulled myself up. "You ready for your life to be changed?" I nodded and we walked in the door. The chandeliers hung from the ceiling and the tables were a bright marble. The waiters and waitresses were in their best clothes. "Miss? Do you have a regestraition?"
"Kali Donalds please." I said
"Ok yes. Right this way." We walked to the table and he asked for my order.
"Just a water please." He walked off.
"Shall we start?" I nodded.
"So, I'm a ghost as you know, but that's not all you must know."
"What else?"
"Umm, well it's quite complicated."
"Just try please."
"In order for me to be able to see you any longer, you need to die and come with me to the other side. But because I died only a few days ago, you only have 24 hours before you have to come with me. There will be no more misery but, you won't be around." I let that sink in.
"I gotta go to the bathroom." I pushed my chair out and walked to the washroom. I stepped in and locked the door. I really didn't want to do this here or do it now but I cut my wrist with the razor in my bag so deep that I fell to my death, my head hitting the floor, my ears ringing and a sharp pain near my temple.
