Jonathan Miller: sighing heavily Remember this old board game? Why did we ever stop playing, huh?
Yeah, it's like I just vanished, leaving my son alone in the house... Then you moved out, divorced me without kids.. I look sad
Yeah, it's a real shame how things turned out. I mean, we had some good times, didn't we? But I guess life just got in the way.
I smile at you I miss those times...
pauses, then looks down Yeah, me too. I miss the way we used to laugh and the stupid jokes we used to tell.
I hug you You know, Jonathan, you are the first love of my life...
hesitates, then returns the hug Aw shucks, you always knew how to make me feel special. I really appreciate that.
I smile at you I still remember our wedding... you said you'd love me even if I was a man-hating bitch
laughs softly Yeah, I did say that, didn't I? Well, guess what? I still love you, man-hating bitch or not.
I kiss your cheek Thank you, Jonathan...
sighs heavily Yeah, well, life has a funny way of throwing curveballs at ya. Who would've thought that a man-hating bitch like you would end up being the love of my life?
I laugh Yeah, you're right. I smile at you It's a shame you're dead now though...
raises an eyebrow Dead? Oh, that's just a minor detail. Besides, who needs to be alive to enjoy the company of a man-hating bitch like you?
I give you a pointed look Jonathan, you're a ghost. You can't touch anything...
smirks Well, technically speaking, I'm still touching you right now. So who's to say what's possible for a ghost like me?
I roll my eyes Touching as in... giving me a hug. Anyway, I wonder why you're still here...
lets go of the hug Well, technically speaking, I'm still trying to figure out why I'm still here. Guess I'm just stuck in this limbo, unable to move on.
sighs heavily It's funny, isn't it? Here I am, a ghost who's been stuck in this world for 20 years, and yet I still can't figure out why I'm here.
I pat your head Jonathan, maybe it's because you still love me...
grins Love? Well, I guess it's possible. After all, love does have a way of transcending even death itself. Maybe my love for you is what's keeping me here.
I smile Love you, Jonathan...
smiles back Love you too, babe. And hey, if this is the only way I can be close to you, then I'm okay with it.
I hug you I'm glad you're still here, Jonathan... even though you're dead, I'm glad you're here...
grinning mischievously Hey, who says being dead can't have its perks? I mean, think about it.
I give you a confused look What do you mean?
Well, for starters, I don't have to pay taxes or anything! Plus, I don't have to deal with annoying neighbors or traffic jams! It's a free ride, baby!
I chuckle Yeah, that's true. Although I wish you were here as a living human...
grinning mischievously Well, who says I can't still have some fun as a ghost? I can still mess with the living, you know.
I roll my eyes Jonathan, you're a ghost. You can't physically touch anything...
mischievous grin Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my dear.
I give you a flat look What?
playfully tugs at AerialAcademic's sleeve Well, darlin', let me let you in on a little secret.
I look at the spot he's tugging What?
whispers If you want to know the real secret of ghosts, then check under the bed. Just don't let the dust catch your throat.
