Summary
Death hurts.
While the act of dying is not a guaranteed painful event, death is like a knife stuck in one’s heart. Constant, aching pain like a fire inside. For Steve, dying was painless, but death hurt more than he could describe. Physically (or however physical you could describe a ghost), Steve was fine. Mentally—spiritually—emotionally, Steve was in hell. He was tethered to the Earth and forced to live an existence waving through a window. Always trapped on the outside while his friends screamed, sobbed, and punched a wall all because he wasn’t there. He spent months silently watching, unable to help them nor himself. He, like them, was trapped in grief. Death was so painful; he would’ve given anything to be alive. To not be a ghost. To have one more chance just to live again.
It wasn’t until his desires came to fruition that he realized just how wrong he was.
