I wish to reach the stars but they're kind of hard to get to when you're trapped in a coffin. 323 light years I have to go plus the 6 feet and 62 miles. I wait until my body has completely rotted until it is a hallow corpse before I let myself go. The world is alive why I am not that's the only part that hurts. Being dead, being a ghost ,creating barriers, you can't communicate or feel anything or anyone but I have a goal and I will reach it by doing so I need to face my sins. Roaming my neighborhood I find my friends house I walked through his front door and make my way to his room he sits at his desk blankly staring at the antique wood since I can't hold his shoulder I hover my hand over it instead. his glazed doesn't change and I feel my feet beginning to sink through the floor but I stay calm. It stops to my knees despite being unable to communicate I try anyway "just because my life stopped yours doesn't and neither does the world"I pause for a moment and take an imaginable breath "and I'm sorry for doing this to you leaving you alone here" I take another pause together my bearings "but I'll always be here with you" My legs rise until the ankles, one sin has been accomplished, 258.4 light years more. He turns towards me just because he can't hear me or feel me doesn't mean he can't sense my apology. He smiles his I searching the air before him. My world became a little brighter as he nods his head and stands up. I watch him leave his room and I do the same to our family as we greet the walk home is peaceful despite trudging through concrete. Soon my house is in view with the gray shutters and glossy white paint I walk up the front porch and through the door I go to my sister first. She is only 9 so my death won't be a big impact on her but I want to apologize for pushing her away she sits on her bean bag chair her eyes fixed on the television screen. My immediate reaction is to stand in front of the TV but I know that won't work "I took life for granite I took you be my little sister for granite" I say her Focus doesn't stray at all towards me "I'm sorry" frustrated I turn on a glare at the TV the next thing I know it bust. My sister jumps back hook latest transfers me as if she senses my presence now. Shocked I stare back at her even though she can't see me " I love you" I finish my feet rise above 6 inches from the ground. My sister grins and my world becomes a little brighter. I float through her wall to my bedroom until I reach my brother's room. He's playing video games furiously yeah eyes are dull. This time I use my emotions to gently shut down his gaming center. I float more towards him and sit down in the air "go back to college" I whisper "go live your life the way you always worked for" my voice is soft but he can feel the instructions in the air. My brother stands up and Mom swings open the door "dinner time" she announces before leaving. I found my siblings down the hall to the dinner table my brother my sister both start eating as well as my Mom and Dad. I use my emotions ask about the chair why I always sat. My brother smirks, my sister shrugs. My parents freeze. I raised even higher my world brighter "what's going on?" My dad questions. " It's brother" she dismisses, my brother nods his head and my parents look astonished. I've reached my stars already.
