Chapter Five
I slept the sleep of the dead! (Pun intended!) Upon waking, still wrapped together, we smiled and stepped back into the shower, but this time only to wash.
“Are you hungry? Daniel asked.
“Starved!” This was surprising, as I didn’t think that being dead would cause one to feel hunger. I need food, and I need it soon. You are starting to look yummy.”
“Hang in there. Get dressed, and I will get you fed. What sounds good?”
“A thick steak, cooked med/rare with a baked potato with everything!”
“Great, I am starving too, and I know just the place!” He said with a big shit-eating grin.
I spotted the closet, made a beeline to slide the doors open, and screamed with delight! “There are hundreds of evening gowns and exquisitely tailored men’s suits!” Daniel didn’t seem as surprised as I was, but we didn’t waste any time getting dressed for our first night on town.
Catching a glimpse of the exquisitely designed dress I was wearing, I nearly fainted. I didn’t, though. I guess you don’t faint if you are dead. I looked like a movie star! My hair magically styled itself in an elegant, upswept style with sparkling diamonds set in the curls. My dress touched the most beautiful pair of shoes.
Glancing at Daniel in his perfectly tailored suit, it was nearly impossible to keep my hands off him, and I decided, after our fun on the town, I was going to enjoy stripping those clothes off him and having my way with his beautiful body.
Stepping out the door, we were met by our chauffeur, who opened the door of the limousine. We stepped into the well-appointed back seat, complete with snacks and champagne.
After a fabulous meal of everything, which I would have denied myself in my previous life to keep my figure, we danced for hours and drank gallons of champagne.
“Damn, this dying is better than I ever imagined!” I said silently.
We were dropped off at our apartment, which I noticed was in pristine condition.
Daniel sat me down on the couch in front of a lovely fire and said, “Ask me any questions, and I will give you the truth!”
“Can I see and talk to friends that have died?”
“Yes, you can.”
“What about those that I hated, and it was mutual?”
“You can if you want to punch them in the face or do worse! You can’t kill them. Obviously, they are already dead!”
“So, if I wanted to do bodily harm to anyone, I could, but they just disappear and resume their existence somewhere else?”
In a nutshell, you can be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do!
My goal is to be blissfully happy forever! But there must be a catch!”
The catch is that whatever you bring with you to the new plane of existence, you are likely to be stuck with it!
“But can’t you change if you want to?”
“You can do or change anything you truly want to change!”
“How about visiting Old Earth and scaring the shit out of a few people that truly deserve it?
“Of course, it might be fun poking a little fun at the non-believers, and the devout believers, too!
“Can we become solid enough that they can see and touch us?
Certainly, but you do realize they can’t hurt you?
Of course! This is going to be fun!
I think I will stick around! Watching you will be a hoot!
“You won’t cramp my style, will you?”
“Nope! I just might know a few people that deserve a poke or two!”
Thanks for reading the last chapter of my short story. I hope you like it and maybe it made you think about what our existence might be.
