Darkness, pure and utter darkness, that is what greeted me after losing consciousness, no I wasn't run over by a truck nor did I take my life, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and a juiced up robber decided that me slowly taking my wallet was deserving of two stabs in the stomach. It's of some consolation that I screamed like a fucking banshee and he probably got caught but I'm pretty sure I'm dead, soo... bummer that, still pretty peaceful afterlife if somewhat boring, never was much of a believer in life, if anything I believed that after we die we reincarnate as a baby with our memories wiped, but I don't feel like I'm in some stomach, there is no warmth whatsoever, and I feel like I can move about pretty easily, so that's a negative to the reborn as a baby theory.

That still leaves me wondering where the hell I am, so let's recapitulate, I can somewhat move, kind of hard to tell for sure with the absolute darkness and all, but I do feel like I can move. I also feel like I have some kind of body but when I try to touch some part of myself it feels like touching water, there is something there but way to soft. Man this would be so much easier if I had some light, just as I thought of that I could feel my body tensing up like every muscle in it was compressing at the same time, and I saw a flash of light..... well that is certainly new, so I can create a flash of light, neat, now let's try something more permanent, I concentrate and think of making a permanent orb of light, again I feel the pressure and just like that I now have an orb that brings light to my un-life, no puff no dust explosion just one moment there is darkness and the next I have my own personal magic light bulb, now with the power of vision I look at my hands only to find, my old hand if somewhat ghostly and see-through.

So I am a ghost with magic powers, cool, but I'm trapped in a void where there is only darkness and my little light orb, not cool, what should I do now?
