Stay on earth as a wandering spirit

    by: Nenen Author IconMail Icon
You thought about it and quickly decided.

"I'll stay on earth." Nothing can change the fact that you... died. It sucks, it's awful. Yet at the same time, you feel that a weight left your shoudlers. The struggle for survival that you were so worried about pretty much just left altogether. It came with the ultimate price though. "I.. may not be able to do anything in this world but... I think I still want to stay here." If anything it probably would be better than being in limbo for who knows how much.

The woman doesn't look up and just writes on in her clipboard. "Noted. With that said my job is done." And she turns to leave. "One more thing. There are still things you can do as a spirit. And monster and humans who may still be able to sense you." After saying that she vanished. Like one second she was there, the next she wasn't.

You're curious what she meant with those words. There are still things you can do? Thinking about it something comes to mind. You know those scary stories about spirits and the like. Everyone does. But could those stories be more than just stories? And if so, doeds that mean you're now on the other end of said stories? There were a few ways to test that out. First you jump, expectint to stay in mid-air... only to land back in the ground. You try a few more times before stopping. So flying is not something you can do. That or you simply have no idea how to make it happen. Next would be... walking to a post you move your hand at it, expecting to hear a dull sound on impact. Rather than that, your hand collided, but there was no sound nor any kind of vibration from the metal being hit. Absentmindelly you bring your hand back when you see it pass right through the metal as if it wasn't there. Maybe... Once again you move your hand to the post, this time ignoring it and being sure nothing will happen. And indeed, nothing happens.

Because your hand just goes right throught it.

So, intangibility, that's a plus. That means you can go pretty much everywhere you want to. Seeing how that worked, once more you jump and try to float in the air. You still land on the ground howeverf. Flying may simply be more complicated than just willing it.

Moving on to the other two things you can think of. Invisibility and possession. The idea of doing the last one has you a bit nervous but you just shrug the nerves off. Invisibility seemed to work already, as despite this having been the place of a run over and death of a young man AKA You, people are still moving through, ignoring you completelly. One monster even seems to just walk right through you. Lastly, the ability of possession. How were you gonna try that?

A car passes by right through you. You are aware that you died already and can't be hurt by them. Doesn't mean that it left you scared all ther way through. Moving off the street into thep avement you rhink of your next course of action. Maybe it would be better to follow someone and attempt to take over theri body when they are alone or in a safe place to explore. If it were to even work, you'd not only suddenly would be alive again, but would be standing in the middle of a croud and causing a scene most likely. The lady in black mentioned that some monsters or humans may be able to sense you, so it may be best to be careful. Having made you choice you look up and notice the street is mostly empty now, safe for a few humans and monsters going around. 2 of them stand out to you. One of them is a big bulky bull man. Most likely a minotaur. He seems to be carrying some boxes. The other person that stood out is actually someone you know of. A fox lady covered in fur from head to toe, sporting 4 tails on her back. She is your history teacher. Or was, rather. She walked right through you, not realizing that a student of hers died on this very street, or that you were still around.

You think about following one of these two.

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Follow the bulky minotaur man.

2. Follow the multi tailed lady fox teacher.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
