After meeting his tragic Demise, The Boy finds himself in a strange and bizarre world, what looks to be a mockery of a small town, stores and all. As he journeys through, he finds himself at an office building which has a sign that says "New Souls, line up here." He goes there and is worried as he hears pleading and screaming from within the building. Once it was his turn he's lead to a room. A secretary looks him over and says "You killed one person before you died. However, since it was in defence against a killer and you died trying to save your family, you have a choice. Heaven or you return back as a ghost." The boy thought long and hard, the Killer is still out there, so he can't pass on just yet. So he chooses Ghost. He follows the secretary down a long and eerie hallway. When they stop at a door marked "Back to Earth." She explains "Unlike the sinners, you can choose to come back here and there is a spot reserved for you. Stay as long as you need and solve whatever business you left behind. Oh and I am sorry about what I am about to do." He is then literally kicked out of the afterlife and brought back to his place of haunting. The home he died in. His haunted house.
I decided to make this more eerie than scary, to better portray how bizarre the afterlife could get for someone who recently died.
