Undead Anonymous - Episode 1

"Welcome to the first meeting of Undead Anonymous. Here, everyone can speak about their lives as undead. Please don't be shy, this is a safe space. Would anyone like to start us off?"

*ghost clears throat* 

"I-I would like to start. My name is Ray, and I'm a ghost. I died hundreds of years ago and it's really not important how...

The hardest part for me is the loneliness. No one quite understands the loneliness of an empty hug. No warmth, ever, no solid anything. Sometimes I try to blame everything for being thin as air, the people around me for giving bad hugs, but I always know deep down that it's not everyone else, it's me. 

I miss the solid. The down to Earth. The real. I feel...well I feel like a ghost. Everyone I've ever know leaves me one day because, no matter how much I try, it's just exhausting to be around me. I'm hard to listen to. I've been told that even my words feel like nothingness. I'm nothing and I can't leave either. I'm stuck forever."

Hello everyone!

Undead Anonymous is a few extremely short bits of writing I've written down in my journal. I thought they were interesting so here you go! Episode 1! 

It's less depressing and more funny when you read it out loud so here is an audio recording of me reading it aloud:
