I am a ghost.

Life after death is not desirable, as it turns out...

It's almost funny, how I got to be like this.

Of course, I am not technically dead. My

heart is beating and my lungs still

                    pull in the air around me, but

           there is nothing

                      left

                     of

                    me inside this shell of a body that they call

alive. If life is as simple as

       a continuation of

                 bodily functions, then I am

   alive, but there is more to life than

                 the greed of a body, just as there is more to being

human

than     two arms

   ten fingers

       hair and brain and stomach and being

enslaved to the     demands

             of a machine

       of muscle and sinew and pain.  Read more »

Prologue

“I am a ghost. Life after death is not desirable, as it turns out. It was funny really, how I got to be this way.”

Hello,

My name is Naomi, Naomi Caldwell. This is the craziest story I’ve ever posted to the internet, and I didn’t even write it! Gail did, but you don’t know who she is... but you will! Check this out, I got home yesterday afternoon, and found a Notepad document open on my computer. I never use that, I stick with Word, so I immediately assumed my sister had used my laptop. Curious and a little annoyed, I pulled it up and started to read. The first few sentences sent chills up my spine, and I had to keep reading. I don’t know if it was a prank, but, I mean, it can’t be! Read it yourself and see. You’re not going to believe it...

Ghost

I am a ghost. Heard, but never seen.

I am a ghost. I am in the walls.

I am a ghost. Do not fear me.

I am a ghost. Life after death is not desirable as it turns out.

A/n: Hey guys thanks for reading that. Now I have a little impromptu prompt here. Using the following statement as your first lines make a piece that finishes this story. (I will be writing one as well, at some point.)

I am a ghost. Life after death is not desirable, as it turns out. It was funny really, how I got to be this way.

A/n: Please, please, PLEASE use some sort of way to show me that you’ve written one. I really would love to see these. Thanks so much. (INTERRUPTION from GG: Use the keyword: zeusprompt ... so that we can see what you've done with this idea!)

Also, for those of you wondering where Lily is, so sorry I haven’t posted her character sketch yet, as school has caught up to me hard. Ill be back soon, just please,(SPOILER) its harder to write a double persona character sketch, when one contains spoilers to the story that people may not want to see.
