My name is Kyle Miller. These two weirdos with me are Ethan Powers and Adam Wootton. We're dead. Have been for 6 months now. On Valentines day we were in crash that killed all three of us. It's the beginning of September now and it's a lot different now. Our friends and family have moved on but still remember us. We've all realized that it's never going to be the same.

We know that eventually everyone will forget about us or possibly forget just our names but still connect us to February 14th. Ethan still has to understand that dead means dead and no one is going to see us again or be able to have random dance parties with us. He has a general idea of it but he hasn't gripped the concept completely.

Me and Adam have welcomed this new life with open arms. We had to otherwise we would just dwell on our old lives and die all over again. At one point we thought all three of us were on the same level but then Ethan saw his family and just emotionally spiraled downward. That was three months ago. He's gotten better but we're still working on it.

I have no idea what Kyle was telling you but it was a lie. I'm doing perfectly fine, I'm emotionally stable, mostly. Sure I broke down like three months ago but come on! That was three months ago! Not three days ago! Anyhow, I'm fine. We're fine even though we fall under the pressure and have our moments but we pull ourselves back up again. That's how the world works, right?

We've accepted our 'new' lives with no choice really. It shows that we abandoned our lives from when we were alive to tell the world "Hey, I'm dead!" with no choice. This is kind of forced onto us. This is a higher power throwing us at the world with a big sign that says 'you're dead' which we can't take off.

But that's also how the world works, right? It gives us a hard choice that we either go through with or refuse yet if we refuse, we can't go on to the next task. So we've chosen the hardest route of going through with it no matter how much we don't want to.

"Ethan that's enough bringing everybody down!" Adams yells at me. "Please say something positive about the afterlife!"

"Fine! Calm down!" I yell back.

Alright so it's actually not as bad as it seems. For the most part all we have problems with is, of course, me not dealing with everything completely. Other than that it's not too bad. We have fun hanging out with each other and messing with other people, mostly friends and family which is expected.

---------------------

Its been almost a year now and I honestly don't know what to tell you. Its different from when we were alive but we've managed somehow. I'm going to be short and straight to the point, being dead fucking sucks.

"Adam! Come on dude!" Kyle whines.

"What? Its the truth." I answer.

Alright. Its really time for this story to end so I'm saying goodbye but also hello. If you are somehow able to see me or the other two then come say hi, I promise we don't bite. This is officially the end of the story and there will be no sequel. Now its time for us to say goodbye to this story and to you. So goodbye!
