Accidental Awakening
“You know, no one bothered me this much when I was dead.”
“Then you should have stayed dead. Simple as that,” I commented, throwing my torn and bloody jacket over the back of one of the wooden chairs. Ashley turned to glare at me, but I just raised my hands. “It wasn’t my fault you decided to haunt me.”
“You were the one who disturbed my grave!”
I rolled my eyes and trudged out of the dining room into the kitchen. “Please, sweetheart, it really wasn’t my fault. I was pushed.”
Ashley folded her arms, the rope line along her neck sparking due to her anger. “You activated me, and now I’m stuck here. Why couldn’t your friends have pushed you the other way?”
“Well, why don’t you just go back? Just go back to your home 6 feet under and we’ll both move on.”
Her expression darkened. “It’s not that easy.”
I laughed and opened the fridge. “Yeah, right.”
“I’m not some sort of genie,” she snapped, her floating blond hair draping elegantly across her shoulder. Her green eyes met mine, their color vivid compared to her wistful body. “I’m stuck here with you. Forever.”
