Firewings

The day i died

Ok so I didn't plan to die, I simply had around 50 overdue assignments, no friends in a strange new city and a crippling self doubt. Who knew committing arson was so dangerous. Ok so apparently like everyone except me but that's not the point the point is I'm currently staring at my own dead body inside of the burning building which I set on fire.So if you ask me the first month of college is going great. What do dead people do anyway I plan to just stay here for all of eternity. I mean you must think I'm mentally insane and this is a horrible first introduction,I probably am seeing as I'm talking to myself but a proper introduction never hurt any one. (Ok let's start over) Hi I'm Celeste May Wong and I died today.

I sat down on the floor and reached in my pocket for my phone to find it empty, wtf do ghosts not get phones, what am I supposed to do read! I sighed.
"You know I really don't appreciate you burning down the sports shed while I'm in it," a voice said from behind me. I panicked I thought The shed was empty when I burnt it down,good going Celeste you killed someone your definitely going to hell now. I turned around slowly to find a boy my age staring at me. He was relatively tall and dark brown skin,black eyes and wavy black hair. His mouth was soft and had a smug smirk on it.Great I killed what might have been the finest man on earth.

"sorry about that" I said I mean what else could I say how do u apologise for accidentally murdering someone.

"oh no it's chill, i only had a whole life ahead of me." He said in response his voice was dripping with sarcasm.I felt my face go red and looked down at my feet i deserved that i mean what kind of person goes around lighting random school buildings on fire."Why did you do that anyway?" he said taking a step towards me.

I sighed, "It's a long story."

"I have time,"he paused "i am stuck with you for eternity after all."

", i was having a mental breakdown.It was dumb i know and resulted in both of us dying." I paused and looked at him "I'm so so sorry i caused this, i'm gonna do whatever i can to get you your life back. I promise." Ok so here i am dead, in a burning building the guy i just murdered making impossible promises.

He smiled at me. " Thank you Snowflake but that hardly explains why you thought the best way to deal with your mental issues is to set things on fire."

"Snowflake?" I scoffed

"Your hair,"He responded motioning to my shoulder length silver hair. I had really fucked it up during the mental breakdown which lead to all this.

I allowed a soft laugh "Well i guess that's fair,nameless boy." The sound of sirens interrupted the moment of peace our deaths were soon to be discovered.The firefighters wasted no time putting out the fire and coming searching for victims. They found me next to the door my hand laying in front of me, my throat closed up as i remembered my final reach for the door. i felt sick as the firefighters checked my lifeless body for a pulses they carried my soot covered body away in a splint a black sheet covering me entirely. I wanted to scream tell them I'm right here but i suddenly could not find my words. The nameless boy had tears rolling down his cheeks as he screamed out for them to stop. If I wasn't dead I would of thrown up out the overwhelming guilt i was feeling.
