And then it hit me, I'm dead, yes. I am a ghost with magic powers. This is not normal, at least as far as I know. Maybe this happens to everybody when they die, but still I AM DEAD!!! I should be freaking out, crying about my lost life, my parents and siblings. I should feel sad, but I don't; and that should scare the ever loving crap out of me, but it doesn't. I'm just okay with this, a little excited maybe. I mean, I have magic powers, dead or not, and that is cool, there is no denying that.

But back to the problem at hand, my emotions are not normal, and I don't know if I care about it or if I should want to. From an objective point of view I should be happy that I'm not a crying mess right now. I think I'm going to continue not caring about the sad stuff and concentrate on the good side of things: MAGIC. I can make stuff but, is there a limit or am I all powerful now? Let's start small first, I flex my whole body and concentrate in making a giant grid of light blobs, each one separated by a meter from the next ones. Man, this is way harder than creating a single one but even with my eyes closed I start to see the glow. With a final push I feel the pressure constricting my body lessen and open my eyes..... I should have thought of a limit, like a hundred or so blobs, but I didn't, and now I'm surrounded by little lights as far as my eyes can see. Welp! What's done is done, now that I have a point of reference I think some exploring is in order, I walk forward stepping on the nothingness that is the void. I can see there is nothing and not a dark floor because I made the lights appear under, above and to my sides basically everywhere around me, but I digress, I walk forward for about 20 minutes until I reach the border of lights, and then I keep walking some more.

I don't know how long I have been walking but it feels like forever and there is no change beyond my lights growing dimmer in the distance. Looking at my lights high above me I just realize I can make this a lot more fun and faster, a quick summon of two blobs one next to me the next a hundred meters away, and I do something I should have done from the start, I will myself to fly. I expected this to take some effort from my part but this is easier than making a single blob.

Now to see how fast this new body can go, I flex my whole body and concentrate on going fast towards my second light, and in less than a second I reach it. Daaammmm I’m fast! And it wasn’t even that hard. I do wonder how fast I can go but there is something more important to do now, get to the border of this place, so flex, concentrate and zooming off I go. Kind of sad there is no wind or point of reference to see how fast I go but I can feel the g’s against my body and I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t dead already I would be by now. I keep going for what feels like hours and there is no end in sight. I may have to accept that there is no end to this nothingness.

Well, nothing for now, I keep having this urge to create more than simple lights, and now that I see that there is truly nothing here I might as well make something to change that. So let’s start with something big, so that I can have my point of reference. I’m between making a star or a huge floor, but since I would have to make more lights to illuminate said floor I might as well go big and make myself a star. I concentrate and find this is easier said than done. It feels like I’m trying to lift a house, I feel the strain but nothing moves, but I keep at it and after what feels like forever I start to feel the heat in my face, I open my eyes to see flames - angry red flames- liking my face since I didn’t think to make the FUCKING SUN appear more than a meter from me. God! I could have died right there! Glad I already did, but in all seriousness I need to start thinking things through when I make stuff, especially if it can kill people…. People! That’s it! If I can make a sun, what about other people? I mean, it’s not like I needed to know how a sun works to make one, I just thought sun and flexed, a person should be easy…
