Daily Life of a Ghost

I am a ghost. The next obvious question people ask after they hear of my identity, is how did I die? Is it social protocol which dictates that people ask the stupid questions, the answers to which they really don't care! Must be! For I have been asked that 214 times. By other ghosts.

"How did you die?" Would it really matter asking that when you are a ghost yourself? Irony of life. Or death.

Anyways, I died 15th February 2015. Killed by an approaching vehicle, the driver of which seemed to think traffic signals are a figment of his imagination. And then I became a ghost.

You would think it was some sort of reincarnation but let me assure you, it definitely was not. It seems like becoming a ghost is like a queue management system, to ease transition into the afterlife. In short, it is like the airport waiting area where you wait while your flight is ready to be boarded. It is like an airport filled with ghosts waiting for their turn to board the plane to heaven. Or hell.

The problem is there are very few flights. And you have to be really lucky to win a ticket for that flight. The way to win is easy. You have to be satisfied.

What would make a 32 year old male virgin satisfied?

So I hung as a ghost on this planet. It was not bad. You see ghosts have ethereal bodies. We cannot touch any real thing. Walls, doors, pillars, buildings, people, animals, plants, trees, birds...if it is real, our bodies will go right through it. Except the earth. For some reason ghosts cannot go below the subway line. Nor can they go above 10,000 feet. Why is that?

Anyways ghost life is not bad. Or atleast mine is like that. I got to know a couple of really depressed ones. They have taken to haunt the cemetery and try to scare people with their "whooo whooo" sounds. But we ghosts don't really have a voice the living can hear. There is no convincing them though. You should see how happy they become when something actually happens. They seem to think that they did it but all the time it was just the wind. Crazy! I don't think I would like to become that. If I stay a ghost that long.

Ghosts actually have a lot of time in the world. I have seen people go crazy from boredom but have you seen crazy ghosts! I have. Trust me, you do not want to become one.

Ah we just reached the high school!

I lie down over by the gate. It's fun looking up the skirts as girls trod over me. I never tried it when I was living. I think I like it. Maybe I won't have liked it when I was alive. It would have been painful. Ah maybe it is just better this way.

Oh there is Ms. Pretty Cute. Don't know her name. Long hair, dark eyes, cute face and a figure you can dream about. Ah ghosts don't dream. We don't sleep so we can't dream. Come to think of it, we don't eat or drink too. No pissing and pooping either. Don't really care about that.

She walks on me like she is my master and I, her slave. Pink ones. Not bad. But I think I liked the black ones better. Ah but those white ones were nice too. I am confused. Well, I got plenty of time to think about it. Oh a nice breeze. I can tell. Those skirts just go "Uwaah! Aah!"

The bell is ringing. Ah the girls start running. No good. Ghosts don't really have dynamic vision. If they move too fast, I can't see anything. I will come back later.

Ghosts float. Primary means of travel is floating. Oh we have options. We got legs so we can run and walk. But somehow ghosts prefer floating. We float reeaallly slow. I raced a scooter once. Think I managed a top speed of 40 kmph. Yeah, that's the top speed for us ghosts. I beat that scooter. It had to stop at a red light. We don't have to stop at lights. But I see some ghosts who still do. Maybe they like it.

Ah there's the apartment. I come here everyday. See, there lives Mrs Busty Racks. She always takes a bath during this time. What a rack. She has such a slim sexy body and a beautiful face. It makes you wonder how she ended up with that rack. Ah her baby is quietly sleeping in the crib. I like it when I see her feeding. But I like it more when she takes a bath. Then I can go in and look at her all I want. "Haaah..Hum humm hum" She likes bathing it seems, her humming is nice. It's like a bonus scene.

Now that I think about it, I don't actually know her name. Never tried to find out. And no one ever said her name when I came around. But the baby doesn't really speak. Maybe I should come here in the night. There could be more interesting things then. Oh the bath ended while I was still in my thoughts. No matter I will come tomorrow.

These two are a pain in the ass. They call themselves exorcists but I have never seen anyone actually exorcised by them. I can't take a chance though. I heard exorcised ghosts don't really make it. I mean they disappear from the spectral plane, if you get my drift.

These two may be phonies though but they chase me persistently. I run. No amount of training will help them go through walls and buildings like me though. But it would scary to be caught so I have to be careful of their traps. Wonder why they chase only me? Can't they see there's like a city full of ghosts. Pain in the ass, as I said!

Oh but that doesn't matter. It's time for swimming in the high school. Ms. Pretty Cute looks awesome. The teacher's sexy too. That's Ms. Uptight Sexy Swimsuit Teacher. She acts uptight but do look at her in a swimsuit. She could easily give the devil a run for the money, I think.

A truly blissful hour. Oh but ghosts don't really have a sense of time. I think it's because we don't really look at clocks and watches. I don't like looking at them either. It always gives me a headache for some reason. But I can always tell when it is time for my show.

Ah this is Mr. Random Guy. An otaku like myself, he always likes to watch the shows I like. It is good to come here and watch with him. He makes all the interesting comments and I share his excitement. Not that he can hear me. The show's good though. Love Funimation.

Just like that it is night. Everyone's asleep. Oh but I stay here. The otaku guy always falls asleep in the couch while watching. Only tv which is on for 10 blocks around. Ah these are sappy shows. I don't like those. Anything to lose boredom though. Have to wait for morning somehow.

"Tonight we interrupt our program for a special news bulletin. We have just received news Mt. Fuji may have activated. Yes folks you heard it right. Mt. Fuji may have activated. There is still some doubt whether it will actually erupt but scientists have said that they are closely monitoring the situation and have advised people to leave the vicinity.

On other news we have that a group who say they are exorcists, yes folks, the ones who go about eliminating ghosts and similar things, have actually appeared near Mt. Fuji and are intending to set up camps. Though the authorities are trying to get them to leave, these exorcists say that they cannot leave and it is their duty to safeguard these holy grounds. They also say that there is no danger of Mt. Fuji erupting if they are allowed to do their job without interference.

Our news reporter actually got to hear the reason behind these exorcists sudden appearance. They say it is ideal time for ghosts and other spiritual beings to gain power and level up by coming here. Who do we believe is up to you. The scientists, or the exorcists. My money is with the scientists folks. Get out of there. You can debate who is right if you still live."

Eh....I never heard of this! Does this mean I can level up?
