“Class, we are here to posthumously honor our classmate, Amy Maxwell, who has valiantly given her life in efforts to save her sister and her niece from certain death.”
I am airily floating above my old classroom at college, watching Professor Peckerhead bow his head as he folds his hands tightly in prayer. Yes, I have come back from the dead to see how I am received at my memorial services. My funeral was attended by no less than a thousand sobbing people, including each of my children’s entire classes at school. Allie and Lexie serenaded my coffin with a rousing duet of Amazing Grace that reduced the entire packed church to tears. I floated from one guest to the next at the repast, listening to all the nice memories each person had about me. With tears in my (dead) eyes, I learned that I was being hailed as a hero for taking a bullet to save my sister.
My sister, on the other hand, had become a family pariah for her part in the entire debacle and was being treated as such at my funeral. At least three aunts had stood together and whispered how I had been ‘the best of that bunch’.
So now I was hanging out in good old Milo Hall (which was a ton of fun to haunt), listening to my least favorite person in the world eulogize me in front of my old classmates who never even gave a shit about me. Except for River. River was a good kid.
I can see River in the back of the room, blowing his nose into a hankie. It’s black of course.
“While her sister and niece have survived, her sister will never be the same because she knows it was all her fault that Amy has gone to the great beyond.” There is an appreciative murmur that arises from the crowd.
“Too bad she was a selfish trollop,” a young girl pipes up from the front row. The murmuring continues.
“Too bad she couldn’t just keep it in her pants. Her sister had to pay the price for her dalliances,” another joins in. Heads nod all around.
Then there is a pause. “Well, she is hot. Even for an old broad. I’d do her,” a young man in the second row counters. The murmur now escalates into a rumble, mostly amongst the male students.
Wait a minute. Are they talking about me or Beth?
“Definitely,” I hear River chime in. “That’s the only reason I was being nice to Amy. I heard her sister put out and she was way hotter than Amy.”
What? What is going on here? I nearly fall from my hovering position and land on Professor Cummings, who looks like he is also agreeing with River’s assessment.
“Have you seen the third sister, Joey? Now that’s a piece of ass,” one of the bonehead jocks from the back of the room adds.
Wait a minute! Stop! This is my fantasy! It’s getting completely out of control! Back to reality, folks!
