Anna screamed out as she fell. Lights flew by her as she fell down
the pit. Suddenly she landed with a thud. "OW!" She cried. She opened her
eyes and looked around, she noticed that she was on a sidewalk a little
ways into an alley, sitting on a stack of newspapers. "Hey! Get off me!"
Something cried from under her. She got up and helped the person up and
began to pick up the newspapers. "I am so sorry, I don't know how---" She
then stopped mid sentence as she looked up and saw who she was talking to.
It was a short little mail carrier; who looked like he had flown threw a
windshield. A piece of glass was in his forehead. "Its ok, miss. Just watch
where you're going next time." He smiled, and then walked off. Anna stood
in shock at what she had just seen. "How. How could he be---" "Alive?" A
voice called from behind her. She spun around and saw a man standing there
with wild green hair and a black and white suit on. "He's not. But he's
dead and when you're dead---" "What do you mean, 'Dead'?" Anna asked, the
man sighed, "You know, dead! Not alive anymore, deceased, doesn't exist
anymore, worm chow." He grinned. "Now I'm sure your wondering how you got
here." He said, walking up to her and putting and arm around her shoulder.
"Well my friend, it's a little process called. Well, I don't really know
what its called, but it must be something to do with death or else you
wouldn't be here!" He chuckled. Anna then pushed his arm off her shoulder.
"Do you mind? I'd rather not be messed with right now." She sighed walking
off.
The man stood for a second before hurrying after her "Wait! Look I'm
sure we could talk and get to know each other!" He said. Anna turned around
"Are you getting fresh with me? Because if you are I'm gonna tell you right
now, I will kick your ass." She warned. "Wait. Did you say dead?" She
questioned. He blinked, "Uh, yeah? What don't you listen?" He replied.
"What?! How can I be dead! There's no way!" Anna shouted. She looked up at
him, "Well death is like a box of chocolates, you never know when your
gonna get it!" He laughed. Anna frowned. "Forest Gump?" He looked at her
"What?" "You're altering a quote from Forest Gump?" Anna smirked, "Yeah
so?" She frowned. Anna laughed, "Nothing, just thought it was funny." She
smiled and then began walking off again. She stopped and turned around. "By
the way, my name's Anna. What's yours?" He looked at her for a moment.
"Well I can't really tell you." Anna blinked, "Why not?" "Well because
there's this thing with my name and well. But hey! If you want, you can
call me BJ!" She looked over at him, "BJ? What are they like initials or
something?" Beetlejuice nodded, "Yup." Anna smiled, "I can live with that."
Beetlejuice smirked, "Come on, I'll show you around this place." The two
then walked off.
