There is one thing I hate more than death. Being stuck in traffic!

"Mama-san, how long will it take?"

"10 mins more, dear. If the traffic would just clear up..."

Why does this ghost sama have to be lowered to following some little lights, you ask? 'Cause this ghost sama is possessing this pitiful human body right now. It's previous owner has become a ghost too. Not that he hung around.

But not everything is bad. I am looking at Elegant Mama-san with her beautiful face and smooth skin.

"Ah you have changed your way of speaking haven't you? Earlier you used to call me Mom and now it's Mama-san."

"Is it odd?" I rack my brains but it feels natural to me. Is it odd?

"No dear. You can call me however you like. You are my precious child, after all." Mama-san smiles.

Ah cupid's arrow strikes at my heart, Mama-san. But this ghost sama is still stuck in traffic.

"Can we ditch this car and walk home?"

"You know we can't dear. How will the car get home.."

I know Mama-san. I am not that stupid. But how much is 10 minutes. Ghosts are really bad with time. But even we know that you said 10 minutes a while ago too.

For all those who were born stupid, allow me to explain. I am going home. I have been released from the hospital. You didn't expect me to hang out there all my life did you? Or my body's life. Rather do I have a life? Do these bodies have an expiry date?

Elegent Mama-san came to take me home. She owns a BMW. Mama-san is rich and beautiful. Thankfully BMW's have a/c. Otherwise my body would have expired in the heat. Sometimes, I think dying is better. Life is too hot!

My home is an apartment. Well, it is our home. Mama-san and mine. "Hehehehehe..."

"Hmm...did you say something, dear?"

Oops. Still not used to not being a ghost. But I am a ghost.

The apartment is big. She brings me to a large room having a huge bed.

"Do we share the bed, Mama-san?"

"Idiot! What are you talking about? You are a grown up boy. You don't want to sleep with your mother. This is your room. And those are your things. Now get to bed, before you pass out again. I have to go out but I will make dinner for you." She blushed. "Oh and you better get ready for school tomorrow."

Oh Mama-san, if you only knew.

I am having an out of body experience. For I am a ghost. I stare silently at my body. It still hasn't become strong. Seriously how do I raise power? Do I have to plug it in something?

Oops, I better go away. You never know when Sexy Onee-sama might show up. I still remember my first exorcism. I shudder. She can kill me. Even when I am a ghost.

Still so many exorcists around. Is a lecherous ghost still around? I will help you exorcist-samas, so stop chasing me already. But I am a ghost. Even death cannot scare me.

Busty Nurse san is so lovely. Her breasts sway as she walks. The patients ogle her too much. The ghosts ogle her too much. Grrrrr.

Ah but the Idiot Doctor san seems to be hanging around her a lot. Too much for my comfort. I have been to his room. He's got all sorts of needles and devices. I am worried. I must keep watch.

Oh she is going home now. But wait, Idiot Doctor san follows.

"I am going near your place this evening? Do you want to have a coffee or something?" (Idiot Doctor)

"Oh. I am sorry. Today I am busy. Thank you for the offer though. Some other day.." (Nurse-san)

Damn! Double Damn! He has started making a move. I will recycle you with trash. I will cut you up in a hundred pieces. I will feed you to the fish.

I am going to school today. What day is today? I am a high school student. At the same school as Pretty Cute san and Uptight Swimsuit sensei. Lucky! My senses are tingling. Am I in danger from a stupid question?

My class goes silent as I enter. Do I look funny? But Pretty Cute san is beaming. She points to a seat next to her. It is also next to the window. And at the back of the class. I was born lucky. Ah, but I am dead already. Lucky?

I can't understand a word. The classes are too high level. Did the education standards go up since I died? Hmm, I heard something I like. What is power energy conversion? Pretty Cute san, you will help me study later, right?

Hey, it is Swimsuit Sensei. I look through the window. She is wearing a suit though. I think someone is giving me strange looks. Don't care about insignificant Insects. Ah Sensei, you are always in my mind.

Class has ended and I need to go home. I have to hurry. Half a day will end. How much is half a day? It is atleast long enough for school. Pretty Cute san is shouting something. But I am too far away. I promise I will hear it later.

I have a river near my school. Ghosts can cross rivers. Even without bridges. My body has to use a bridge though. But there are some rivers even ghosts can't cross. River Styx, Sanzu river, etc.

People surround me.

"Ho..so you are still alive?" (Insect 1)

"I thought for sure you would kill yourself." (Insect 2)

"Maybe the pictures we took weren't embarrassing enough." (Insect 3)

"Oh should we take more pictures then. Catch him!" (Insect 3) Is he their boss. Let's call him Insect Boss.

But I am in trouble. My body is weak. They throw my pants off and take all sorts of embarrassing pictures. Do they like guys? Oh I remember. It is that thing called bullying the weak. Is that why he is a ghost? I mean the previous owner.

"Hahahahahah" (Insect laughter)

"Throw him in the river. Serves him right!" (Insect Boss)

Hmm, I will have to think of a revenge later. I better remember their faces. They will be easy to find. They wear my school's uniform after all. "Hyahyahyahyahyahyahya..." Oops.

"Shit this bastard's gone crazy. Throw him deep.." (Insect 1)

The river is not too deep. Like up to my neck only. And I know how to swim. Did someone ask why would ghosts know how to swim? Moron! We don't. Why would ghosts know how to swim! I said I know how to swim. I learned when I was living. Before I died. Wait, now I am getting confused. I blame you.

This will be a piece of cake. I move my hands. Eh! But I am looking at my body. Wait wait wait wait wait wait half a day is over already?!! My body is floating away! SOMEONE HEEELLPPPP MEEEEE.

Ah but my voice can't be heard. Except by other ghosts. And there are some laughing at my misery. Onee-sama, I have found some bad ghosts...where are you?

Splash!

Hey, someone jumped in. Yes, noble man. Save me and I will grant your wish. But I am a ghost.

Hmm?

"Yo...what's up?" (noble man)

"I am good. How are you?"

"Chillin! Say he looks like me. I got a twin brother..wow! We are both handsome coz we are twins, get it?" (noble man)

"Absolutely handsome. And pretty strong. So tell me noble man? Do you know how to swim?"

"Nah. I just saw that one floating away and I jumped to rescue it. It is man's duty to help those in need. That's what makes him strong." (noble man)

"Asshole! Moron! Idiot! Did you hit your head or something?!!"

Didn't I tell you before? There are stupid ghosts. They were stupid humans. Oh my body! I hate life!

Wait!

"You can now possess this body. If you possess this body, you can register this body as your possession. Do you wish to possess this body?"

Yes. Hurry up please.

"Aah...aah...it hurts! Kill me already!" Oh I catch my other body and swim ashore. I managed it. Phew!

Thank you divine beings. Ah I am dying again. Screw the words I said before. I hate dying the most. Darkness surrounds me.
