VIOLET

I want to do everything I missed out on since I've been dead. Obviously, I can't do some things, like graduate high school, move, have children - not that I really want the latter. It would just be nice to have the option. But I guess I'll just have to settle for having a "night out" with Tate at McDonald's. God, it's been so long since I've eaten anything. The thought of over-salted fries makes me weak in the knees.

Surprisingly, there is another couple at McDicks, but this pales in comparison to all the other surprises this morning. I grab a table while Tate orders, and the thought of payment flutters across my mind. I hope that Tate won't do something stupid, like kill the poor woman working, but somehow he has the money.

We eat in silence. I can see a look of wistful longing in Tate's eyes. It's really not his fault, just like it's not my fault. Or so I keep telling myself. To prevent myself from crying at the table, I make a mental list of everything I want to do:

1. Swing on the swings at the park like I used to when I was little
2. Go see a movie at the theatre
3. Buy a pack of cigarettes (Constance hardly ever gets me any)
4. Buy a halloween costume for the party
5. Destroy the Murder House
