[ WP ] When you die you become a ghost , just like everyone else , but only a few ghosts are able to interact with the natural world . After you die you find out you are one of the few who can interact with the living the ghost mob boss makes you an offer if you go ( kill/mess with ) the man who killed him

The boss approached me, `` Nikki, I see you are able to interact with the living. I have a favor to request and should you succeed I will grant you a new life.'' I was shocked anyone could have that kind of Aurum, the currency of the dead. 
 
 
 My curiosity piqued I asked, `` what favor do you request that you would offer a new comer like me a new life?'' 
 
 
 A dark look crossed his face, `` I want you to kill the man who killed me.'' 
 
 
 Shocked I asked, `` why must I do it? You're the mob boss.'' 
 
 
 `` Was, Nikki, I was. I am dead now. Have you not noticed, you are the only one here who can interact with the living?'' 
 
 
 I looked around the alley we were in, ghosts continued to live in the mortal world, but they went unseen and unheard by the living. I chose to stay in my old hometown as many did. Though my family had long since moved, I was content here. But a new life? That would be bliss. Ghosts often had to work for ages to earn that kind of Aurum. To earn it, we had to do little acts of kindness. Helping find something lost, or encouraging someone who was down on their luck, but it was subtle things. Like we were able to manipulate small objects for very brief periods of time, or speak through the wind and give people ideas they thought their own. Only I could speak directly to humans and carry large objects for long periods of time. 
 
 
 I looked back at the boss, `` it's a deal. Who am I killing?'' 
 
 
 `` His name is Jake Snow. I believe he was a love interest of yours at some point, eh Nikki?'' He said with a sly grin. 
 
 
 I glared back, `` abuse does not count as a love interest.'' 
 
 
 `` Ah but you adored him,'' replied the boss waving a dismissive hand. `` But now you must go. Farewell, Nikki.'' 
 
 
 I walked away from him and towards Jake's house. As a ghost we have this sense of where all mortal are all the time. It's both useful and annoying. When I got to Jake's house I found it was very nice. Inside it was clean and smelled wonderful. The source of the smell was a pregnant woman cooking something. She was beautiful and looked happy. Jake came down and kissed her cheek bidding her a good day. He was kind to her and I could tell he adored her. The abusive monster I had known was nowhere to be seen. I looked to the woman again and found the unborn child had n't been given a soul yet, this was n't all that surprising as most children recieve their soul upon being born. I briefly wondered which of the many ghosts floating around town would become her soul. Afterall, that's all us ghosts were, souls still in our previous form. That's how there's no overpopulation of ghosts, we all get recycled. 
 
 
 My thoughts were interrupted because I had a job to do. I followed Jake out to his car and to work. I was surprised to find he worked an office job. How had he killed the boss? I did n't really care, I had my own personal videtta against him, after all, by extension he had killed me too. I killed myself because of his abuse. I wanted him to know it so the first step was wound him. I looked around the building and found the cubicles they were in were flimsy deviders. This company obviously cheaped out and it would cost them. I gave them a mighty shove and watched as they dominoed, collapsing right on Jake. As blood began blooming around his body I feared I had accidentally killed him too soon. I let out a breath of relief as the EMT pulled him out and rushed him to the hospital. After they stabilized him I entered his room, as he slept I took a marker to the wall and wrote, `` You did this to yourself.'' I forced all his machines to go wild, beeping and shrieking. He woke with a start and seeing the message on the wall jammed his nurse's button rapidly. 
 
 
 They'd never see him alive again. 
 
 
 The nurses found his cords all pulled out and his neck snapped. They were absolutely confounded and sent flowers and a note home to his family. 
 
 
 `` Well done, Nikki,'' the boss said putting a hand on my shoulder. 
 
 
 `` How did he kill you?'' I asked looking at the scene of mayhem. 
 
 
 `` He hit me on accident. But at least you got your revenge. Well done.'' He handed me the Aurum and walked away. 
 
 
 I took it to the office feeling empty and paid for my rebirth. 
 
 
 In my new life my mom never Told me what happened to my dad. Only that he died in the hospital After an accident at work.
