THE PAST
Death in any family is never fun. My death was sudden, I was supposed to grow up and be an adult, I was supposed to experience life and all its fun trials and mistakes. I was supposed to grow up, find someone to love, maybe have some pups, grow old and then welcome the cold hand of Death. But no…my death was sudden.
Once you die, everyone thinks there’s either a bright light or a dark tunnel…there’s neither. Have you ever experienced the DMV? Well that’s what Death is like…you’re in a long line, with a number, waiting to be called and you have God knows how many ahead of you. There’s no “women and children first” rules here, whenever you die…however many people died ahead of you and haven’t been seen…get seen first. Thems the rules.
I probably spent a long time there…the memory of that line is just a blur to me now…but I finally made it to the front. The creature sitting at the desk was nothing but a faceless mass in the form of some two handed creature, wings of charcoal dripped an acidic like fluid that burned holes in the fabric of the table, multiple eyes popped up in several locations…blinking before slinking into the pale pink flesh before popping up again in a different location. The receptionist asked me for my name…my name? Well…I had forgotten it…”Your previous name was &^#^&*#*&…would you like to keep this name?” The name felt foreign to me, I shook my head. “Then what shall you be called?” it asked.The receptionist stamped the paper in front of it…I cast a curious look over the sheet “Name…date of birth..date of death…reason for death….”Demonic Possession” What? I thought about it…Death was so sudden…”Sudden” I spoke without thinking.
THE PRESENT
They had moved into my house…this was MY house…I claimed it years ago. Ugh…what were they doing? Renovations? What was wrong with the house? I liked the house how it was! Put that back! Stop tearing that down! UGH! I….just….couldn’t…TAKE IT ANYMORE!
It started out small. A cup falling here, a picture turned upside down, a noise in the night. I tried to be nice…I really did….but they forced my hand. I started with the youngest first, we were friends…I really didn’t want to scare her…but if she didn’t let her parents know that this was MY HOUSE and NOT theirs…well…I’d have to go after them. I gave them so many chances. So many. I just wanted to be SEEN…I wanted to be RESPECTED.
That night…I woke him up by pulling him out of bed. He was so scared…hehehe…so funny…wow…who knew this could be so fun? He could see me now, so I played with him some more…the ooze around my neck dripped and stained his light blue pajamas as I stood over him. His eyes were wide…so wide…I could see everything….
Wait…where are you going? Why are they leaving? What did I do?!? I just wanted to be seen! I just wanted everything to stay the same! I just wanted to live peacefully in MY HOUSE!! My house….my house….my house…
