seed #363
I returned home from a month-long vacation on a saturday. I was still in that chill daze so i thought i will hit my pub. I was sure to find a few of my buddies there. When I entered, the bartender went pale and started throwing garlic on me. I couldn’t understand. I ignored and walked past to my corner. There on above the thick leather ancient couch, exactly in the middle of the curve, hung above was my picture with with late added to my name also a poster called “for some friend, for some foe, but definitely a good hoe”,the couch was occupied with my friends, who looked sad but not particularly so. What the fuck was going on?
I went up and huddled in. they couldn’t believe and stood still for 20 mins! Not letting me in. they started throwing crucifixes. One hit my head and I started to bleed. They stopped for a moment, surprised,
“Ghosts bleed?”
“How the hell do I know? This is the first i have seen!”
“ Lets kill him again!”
“Shut up guys. Wtf. I aint no dead! Calm em tities and tell me what in the name of the mother of god is going on!? What are you doing?”
“We are mourning”
“Who died?”
“You died”
“How did i die?!”
“Cancer”
“Arrey fucker! How did I die if I am standing here?!”
“Because of bad karma”
“Nigger! What are you talking about?!”
“You are standing here because your soul is cursed to roam around and not find peace may be. That is why you are not dead even if you are dead”
Other friend” dawwwg! What are you smoking man?
Dude fuck his brown ass. Sit. wtf happened to you? You vanished. We thought you died of some cancer or shit!”
“Why in the world would you think I have cancer?”
“you looked pretty pale when people last saw you. And mrs jyotsi was telling you have been not coming for lunch. The bitch made us pay for the entire months ration of your share, even though you were dead!”
“And then you suddenly vanished. We have not been able to catch up anyway because of job and shit. And the way your neighbours described your health preceding your death, it was scary as fuck.”
“But why cancer?”
“Cancer or aids. That’s the only thing we know, so we just picked”
“Thank god at least you didn’t tell people I have aids!”
“Actually we did. We are lying about the cancer.”
“I can’t understand shit”
“You just reincarnated. I thought it would be rude to remind you of those bad times”
Bangs the head on the table
