Bittersweet Symphony • Wally Clarke

Death had become her.

Maxine Baxter had been eighteen with her whole life ahead of her and it only took ten minutes for that life to end. She was doomed from the moment that she had taken her final breath to watch the living live their lives in the high school that had ended her own.

Wally Clark could remember the day that he had first seen Maxine Baxter. He was a sophomore while she had been a senior and he thought that she had been an angel. He could remember the first day he had seen her and the day that she had died.

Neither of them had been prepared to meet in the afterlife and Maxine Baxter had not been prepared for the storm that newly dead girl, Madison Nears, would bring her way.

She was forced to watch the girl accuse her nephew of murder and disrupt the semblance of peace that she had created in her undead life. The only thing that was getting her through it was the fact that she had Wally Clark by her side like she had for the last few decades.
