[ WP ] You 've been invited to a dead man 's party .

The letter arrived on Monday morning. A brown envelop with my name written on it. No address, no stamp, just my name. I opened it with my pocket knife and found an invitation inside. It was hand written and the handwriting somehow seemed familiar. It said: 
 
 Dear Brother, 
 We cordially invite you to our party on Saturday, 6:00 pm at our house. 
 Please do not bring any guests. 
 
 Mr & Mrs Smith 
 
 The letter was from my brother and his wife. They both died 5 years ago in a car accident. 
 
 I had known it for a while. I just did not want to accept it. The way no one would listen to me anymore, no one would look at me or even notice me. It was clear now. I had to come to terms with it. I went to the basin to wash my face. I looked up at the mirror that did not have a trace of me and sighed. It was a dead man ’ s party…for dead people.
