Guess I'm A Ghost

So either death by falling isn't painful, is so painful that you can't feel it, or kills you as soon as you hit the ground.

Who knows?

Obviously not me, because I'm still alive.

At least I think so?

Well, I'm standing up, and I don't really feel dead.

But I'm standing right in front of my dead body.

I'm either dreaming or hallucinating. Or I'm a ghost. I guess I'm a ghost.

I'm not sure, but as much as I think that it's impossible, I do live in a world where super powers are the norm, so it's not that hard to believe.

Well I guess dying was pointless.

Unless...

I can do ghost stuff?

Like phasing through things, floating, whatever else ghosts can do?

Oh yes, I can. This should be fun.

I'll just wait for someone to find my body, I'm not risking getting lost.

Then I'll play away.

Cue evil laughter.

Not too evil though.

I don't wanna be mean.

I'll just cause a bit of mischief.

Though it'll probably turn into a lot of mischief.

I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

Okay, so I've been waiting next to my corpse for a while.

The moon is out, being all bright and stuff, and I've decided to try to call the police.

My mom probably already called them, the worrywart she is, but I'm going to report my body.

If I can touch my phone.

This is like one of those claw machines at the arcade.

Super annoying.

But still doable, if you've got my strategist skills.

C'mon, c'mon, just a little bit more!

There we go! Got it out of my pocket.

It's lifting up, almost up here, and I just realized that I don't even have to be careful with it.

I guess if I touch something long enough, I can use it?

Nice to know.

I should probably find out what all ghost powers I have later.

The whole button pressing thing is probably gonna be a whole other issue though.

To my surprise, it isn't.

I'm working my phone like there's no tomorrow.

Hopefully I can still speak.

Okay, dialed the police, they answered, here we go.

"Hello, what is your emergency?"

"I've discovered a dead body."

"Um, excuse me, you're cutting out a bit there, sir."

I try to clear my ghost throat, not that it would probably do any good.

"I've discovered a dead body."

"Woah, wait what!? Where!?"

She doesn't really sound like she's done this before, I wonder if she's a rookie or something?

Whatever.

"Aldera Junior High."

"O-okay, sir. I'll send someone as soon as I can!"

Wow, super energetic. Guess she is a newbie.

Oh, I dropped the phone. I wonder if I have a time limit?

Maybe it was because I'd already reported it?

My phone's a bit cracked now.

I press end call and it works.

I can still press buttons.

Nice.

I open up my favorite puzzle game and start playing, waiting for the police to arrive.

They get here sooner than I would've liked, as I was still playing my game.

I find this quite amusing because I was the one that called them to speed things up.

My phone is almost dead anyways.

Comment, I'm lonely.
