Nearly Headless Nick floated, looking on with a jolly smile. He watched all of the children laugh and have fun and remembered a time that he could participate in fun as well.
When he was alive, he loved to go to the opera, or at least, what was considered the opera at the time. They all had so much talent, and going had been beneficial to him. It had relaxed him and made them see what was out there in the great big world.
He had never really considered himself a rebel, but he did love getting people upset. It was so much fun winding them up and then watching steam come out of their ears. One of his favorite things to do was ask to help in girls' gardens and then purposely mess up.
The girls always got so angry that they had become incapable of words. It excited him.
Now he was forced to watch others have fun and most of the joy in his life was no more. He knew the old saying: fake it until you make it. And he was going to keep faking joy for as long as it took.
