[ WP ] `` You do n't just ask a girl why she 's dead ! ''

At a young age I had used to go outside of my parent's Villa just to go to an old playground by an abandoned schoolhouse. Sure there were a few other kids that I could have hung out with, but the rusty old equipment and the gloominess of the place attracted me. An old seesaw that was so rusted that it was stuck, a slide that had metal chips poking through the surface, and monkey bars that looked like they would split in half with just a gentle tap. 
 
 It was n't until the second week that I had gone to my special park that I noticed someone else there too. At first it was just slight movement out of the corners of my eyes, or the seesaw would give a sudden screech and move only an inch. I did n't mind as I spent most of my time sitting in the old mulch that lined the ground and stared at the sky, watching the time pass by and counting the clouds that were in shapes that I liked. 
 
 That was when I met'her'. As I was staring upwards while laying on my back, a girl suddenly leaned over into my vision. It was so sudden that I bolted upright with my heart threatening to breach my chest. `` It's awfully lonely around here and I've seen ya hang out around the school.'' The girl says, both hands were clasped behind her back. As I had looked upon her with my eyes, there was something off about her. Wether it be the nightgown she wore that looked like it could belong to my mother in her younger years, or when I looked upon her everything else around her seemed out of focus. 
 
 `` There's plenty a kids that hang around town. Why do n't you go play with them?'' I ask while brushing the mulch off my clothing. Now that I looked at her a little more closely I could see that she was about the same age as me, though a little taller. Though with a glance towards her feet I see that she's barefoot.....and floating a couple of inches off the ground. `` So that's why....your a ghost?'' The ghost girl gave a nervous nod while bitting her now translucent lip. `` Must a been pretty lonely then.'' Once more, the ghost nodded her head. 
 
 `` If ya do n't mind me asking before we hang out, how'd ya become a ghosty?'' No sooner had the question left my lips, the air that surrounded her glowed a little red in tint before fading. `` You know your not suppost ta ask a girl how she died.'' she responds, something in her voice made me rethink about what I needed to do. So simply lying back down, I start to stare at the sky again. Patting the spot beside me, I could feel a slight movement in the air as she laid beside me. It took her a few moments to make sure she was n't partially disappeared into the ground when I suddenly feel something icy grip my hand. 
 
 I did n't have to look to know she had reached and was now holding my hand with her own. A somewhat quite sob came from her but I kept staring at the sky. I did n't have ta ask how she died, since I was there when it happened. It was the reason why I still came to this playground by myself. A couple months ago me and her were inseparable and came here often. At one point while it was raining we both came here to still play. There had been another plaything here as well at that time and it was in the best condition. As were playing on it in the rain as it spun around, she slipped and hand scratched her arm up from all the rust. She contracted a severe form of Tetnis, so she had died later in her bed. Yet she stayed in the mortal plane to continue to play with me.
