(technically) DEAD - Naomi Kramer
DEAD
(Cooper)
I’m dead.
This is sorta pissing me off.
I don’t know what happened, though. One moment I was on my way to visit my girlfriend with a big bunch of flowers, and the next I saw a big bright light and a cloud and a crowd of dudes in dresses carrying harps. Holy shit, I thought, I’m dead! Then I thought – frack, that looks like a church choir, all low-tech and acoustic and stuff. That’s not where I wanna be. Bet they don’t have a single computer, or if they do it’s like a 386 or something, all filled with dustbunnies. There’s no way I’m getting stuck in a low-tech shiny place like that with acoustic music everywhere. That’s a freaky version of hell. Shit no. So I ran, or flew or something the hell away, and now I’m back home and I’m still dead.
I don’t like being dead, I’ve decided. I’m a ghost, that much I’ve worked out. Like Patrick Swayze in that Ghost movie. Damned if I’d possess Whoopie Goldberg though. That was some scary shit.
Anyhow, I’m see-through, I can’t eat, I can’t drink. My body’s nowhere to be seen, thank God or Ceiling Cat or whatever, because I think I’d puke. Or throw ectoplasm everywhere, or whatever the hell dead dudes do. I never had a strong stomach for that sorta thing.
I float around the flat, looking for something to do. I sit in front of my computer and I’d cry my eyes out if I had eyes and tear ducts and stuff. $8000 worth of sexy high-end gaming hardware, and I can’t even touch it. I must be an electrical field or a magnetic field or some shit, right? I’m afraid to go too near it in case I short something out. I’d never forgive myself if I killed Betsy.
Computer’s out, then. TV? Might have the same problem, but the remote’s a fair distance away. Should be safe, and besides, the TV is just a crappy thing. And I know ghosts are supposed to be able to manipulate stuff. Holy crap, I am a ghost, aren’t I? Like the movie, cos I ran away from the light. Kewl.
I concentrate really hard, think solid thoughts, and poke my finger at the TV remote. It goes straight through. Damn. But I’ve got nothing else to do and I’m bored shitless, so I keep trying till I get the sucker pressed and the TV’s on. Holy frackin’ hallelujah. It’s 2am now and an old crappy movie’s on, but there’s no way I’m gonna give myself a hernia trying to change the channel too. I settle down in my beanbag in front of the TV and try to imagine I’m eating caramel popcorn.
I wake up I don’t know how many hours later and it’s pitch black and there’s no air
