When Boredom Strikes
I should get my creative juices flowing.. so I wrote this. dont even ask what was going on in my head when i wrote this.
ONE DAY, I DIED
One day, I died. I did not know that had I died or how I died. I just died. One minute I was standing there and the next minute I was not. I felt weird…..and hungry. What do ghosts eat? Do ghosts eat at all? I looked around, searching for some yummy food to eat, preferably food saturated I fats and salt……like a burger…..or French fries. Yeah, I like French fries. Then, I saw IT. It was so beautiful, but what was it? Oh yeah, it was French fries. Glorious French fries.
I tried to remember the details of my life. Oops. I mean my past life. However, my mind was blank. It was as if as my memory was wiped away. I could not remember anything at all! The harder I tried to remember, the more I seemed to forget. Details were trickling away from my mind as fast as water was trickling away through cupped hands. I stared into space blankly for a full minute. Suddenly, I felt a pang of horror. What is my name? All I seem to remember is that my name started with the letter ‘K’, or was it ‘C’? No, it starts with the letter ‘K’. My name is…..my name is…. I think I will call myself K for the moment.
You know what? I am still hungry. I looked at my ghostly body and realised that my body looked solid. I wondered if I can walk through walls and other things. Guess what? I walked into a wall and squashed my nose flat. The worst part was that MY NOSE REMAINED SQUASHED! I touched my nose absent-mindedly and stare at the wall blankly like an idiot.
This was just great! I was a weird ghost with a squashed nose suffering from amnesia. My nose did not hurt, though. I walked around, or rather drifted around. Then, I noticed other weird-looking people. They had squashed hands, legs, faces and various other body parts. OH MY GOD! I was actually living in a ghostly realm and it was NOTHING like I thought it would be. I am such a loser ghost.
You know something? I’m bored. Being a ghost is so boring. Who would have guessed? I want to scare people, like in the movies, but nobody seems to be able to see me. Great. More boredom. What do ghosts do??? Frustrated, I slumped to the ground and observed people passing by, all wrapped in their own silly little lives. Suddenly an idea struck me with the force equivalent to a truck crashing headlong into a tree. Why don’t I follow one these people around? That way, I can haunt someone AND get rid of my boredom.
I suddenly a spotted a pretty girl about my age with a ponytail. Her hair swayed from left to right rhythmically with the pace of her walk. What caught my attention was the fact that she was eating FRENCH FRIES while walking along. Excited that I finally found French Fries, followed the unfortunate girl. As I followed her, I observed her face closely. She was actually very pretty with almond shaped eyes the colour of moss. Her nose was small and pert while the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, giving her look of a person who seems to be smiling no matter how upset they are. Her auburn hair was thick and wavy. Oh my god, I’m so jealous of her! Not only is she pretty, she also has a small and slim figure. Oh, and she’s not dead. Some people have all the luck.
