Sean's POV

She's been gone for a year. It's October again. I can't believe it's been so long. Time just seemed to stop after she died.
Why did it happen? It was just a matter of seconds.
Every morning I wake up hoping to find her next to me. Hoping that this is just a bad dream.
But it isn't.

I walk across the street without looking around. I hear a car horn. But it misses me just by an inch. Of course it does. Probably would have been better if it hit me.
When I get to the other side I feel a sudden wawe of dizziness that goes away immediately. I mean... I did almost get hit by a car, so whatever.

I keep walking. Head down, hands in pockets.
I hear Signe's voice in front of me.
-Do you remember that day in October?
I look up, kind of freaked out. I swear I saw her a couple metres in front of me for a fraction of a second.
What the hell is going on? I'm not supposed to hear voice and see her... Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming... Ghosts don't exist.

I hear her behind me this time.
-You're not dreaming.
Her tone sounds... Bitter?
I quickly turn around and I see a group of people gathering around something, but Signe's nowhere to be found.

Concerned, I walk closer to the group. I can't see anything yet. I keep on going. As I get closer and closer I see that it's a person, laying motionless. Did somebody die?

When I get close enough to see the face the world starts swirling around me.
From the ground staring back at me...

Is my own dead body.

I start backing up. How? When? Why did I not notice?
I feel a sudden wave of heat... Somebody just walked through me!
Can anybody see me?

I hear Signe's voice again.
-Sean...
I turn around. She's standing there in her black sweater and jeans and with a bittersweet smile on her face.
-Signe I missed you so much!
I kiss her not wanting to let her go ever again. I can smell the perfume she put on the day she passed away.

After a while I pull away.
-Signe... What happened? Did I get hit?
-No... You had a brain aneurysm right at the part that's responsible for the heartbeat and circulation. And when it ruptured... You died immediatly.
-How do you know that?
-After I died, I refused to leave without you. I had my ways of finding out how much time you had left.
-I love you so much, Signe.
-I love you too. But we should get going. Don't worry. We'll have time to talk.
While we walk up The Stairway To Heaven.

(Kind of short, but at least it has a happy ending 😅)
QOTD: Have you ever been in love?
I sure have
