STEVE CASTRO ~
Polar Opposites

I just rose from the dead.
"Do you feel tired?" I asked.
A little. I'm also hungry.
Then she hugged me.
"Are you hugging me because I'm about to take your place in the afterlife?"
Maybe? I could also be hugging you because I like you.
"I've never dated anyone who was previously dead before."
I've never dated anyone who's about to die.
"How long do I have?"
Still embracing me, she looked into my eyes and then I knew that we
would kiss. Kiss we did. Her mouth tasted of flowers that had been
placed inside a coffin. I started crying.
"I can taste death in you."
She started crying as well. I wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I wish I didn't have to die," I told her.
Your wish is my command, she said.
Then we lived happily ever after.
