"You cant stab a ghost silly. Thats just not how it works y'see?" I glanced down at the blade protruding from my stomach and yanked it out. Blueish white goo started dripping from the blade and the gash in my stomach. "Great...you made me bleed...blue stuff..." I laughed and threw the blade down to the ground next to Johnnys feet. "What the fuck...well you obviously arent lying or you would be dead...but still...what the FUCK?" Johnny glared at me. "What do you want?"
I chuckled, and sat down on the old musty sofa nearby. "I already told you what I want, Nny. I want to help you. Its as simple a matter as that. Now are you going to accept that or keep trying to kill a spirit?" Johnny snickered, the fact that he just stabbed a ghost, was somewhat of an odd fact. Johnny came over and sat next to me, giving me a funny look. "I still dont believe you can help me. No one can. Its too late, nail bunny is gone, I cant hear him...I'm assuming you understand what I'm talking about since youve been 'here long enough to know what happened'." He looked at me hard.
I sighed. "I know what your talking about. I just...I cant...I cant control what you hear, or what you see. The styrofoam dudes and nail bunny, I cant control them. Only make it less extreme. I may be a spirit but I'm no god..." I paused, lifting my hand up to brush some hair out of my face, and looked down at my feet. Nny, remained silent. "..Its mostly up to you. I guess I just am here to give you support and stuff..." Johnny sighed, and looked over at me. He moved close enough to me to whisper in my ear "You better be right." and then walked away, out of sight.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" I chuckled to myself, somewhat flustered that he got that close to me. I stood up and pulled my arms around me, shivering a bit. It had been so long since I had been in a human body...it was weird, to have such heavy limbs all of a sudden, and to feel the ground beneath my bare feet. I stared at the floor again, and then at the gash that already healed, blue 'blood' crusted on my shirt.
I still couldnt feel pain though. It was the same as when I was a human. Still no pain. Just numbness...I guess pain isnt that great in the first place though...but still. "Thats the whole reason I'm here..." I whispered. A huge crash, the floor shuttered and creaked. "Agh what the hell?" Johnny came running in sight, with a huge bucket of blood sloshing back and forth. It seemed to heavy for him to carry but he was doing just fine. He threw it down beneath my feet. "You see this? This is what the monster eats! How the fuck do you expect to feed it without killing? And why the fuck would you want to not kill people in the first place?" Johnny pulled out an axe and screamed "I WANT THESE MAGGOTS TO KNOW HOW FUCKING IGNORANT THEY REALLY ARE!" and threw the axe besides the place I was standing, it stabbing into the furniture with a "THUNK". I stared at the axe, then walked past the bucket of blood towards a now crazed Johnny.
"You cant keep doing this if you want to stop things going this way. Close your eyes, and follow me." I grabbed Nnys hand, and he flinched when he felt my skin, I led him outside, onto his front lawn. "This! This, is why I am here." I let go of Nny, and pointed to his house. "The house is the monster. It traps you here so you can never break free from it...its kinda like symbolizm, yknow?" Nny laughed and smirked. "You sound like a total idiot right now, you know that?"
