Handbook for the recently deceased

Date: 8/7/2016

We were madly in love. I don't think we actually told eachother, but I could feel it from her and I felt it myself. I traveled pretty far to be with her. I think I even ran away from home to be with her. I dont even know her name. She had black hair, and beautiful eyes, slim body, a little shorter than me, and pale skin. we cuddled with eachother, rolling around in bed laughing and holding one another. it was a rainy night and the window near our bed allowed the red light from a neon sign poured into the room, pearls of water dropped down the glass. For some reason I feel like I was on the run from something or someone. We played with asphyxiation, in a non sexual sort of way. I'm not exactly sure why, but I believe it was because we would have some sort of visions after we passed out; It was like a drug or something. We each had black string tied to the headboard and wrapped into a noose type of thing. We would put our heads in and just float away. I remember waking up with her taking the string from around my neck. I saw incredible things while I was out. Then we would do it again, and I would get up and pull her string from around her neck. she would gasp and wake up, smiling and hugging me. We did it one more time and I remember waking up choking and gasping for air. I couldn't get my string off, it was to tight to fit my head through. I looked over at her and she was out. I tried to reach for her string but passed out before I could make it. I woke back up and my head was out of the noose. she layed there smiling at me. I asked her how she had gotten it off, it being too tight. She replied " I didn't take it off of you" and then proceeded to climb on top of me, straddling herself around my waist. She looked at me like no one's ever looked at me before, the genuine happiest anyone has ever looked, and said "We could be dead right now and I would be completely okay with that" I smiled back at her and said, " We could be dead right now and I couldn't be happier". It wasn't clear that physically we were dead, but you could feel it... Inside we both knew. She jumped up and started pulling the bed towards the middle of the room. It turned into a dim lit diner she excitedly kissed me and said, " what would you like to eat, my dear!?" I just smirked at her and then she spoke again "don't tell me, I'm going to surprise you!" We ate food together and then we ended up leaving the house and roaming around, haunting the town like two children in love, dancing around in the rain and running from trains on the tracks of subways. I had never felt happier and I had never seen someone else be so happy.
