Incision?!
There must be some mistake.
"Sephy, I think I'm dead."
"Dead? DEAD?! You can't
be dead. That means I'm dead. We're not dead! How do you think- what do you-"
"Sephy."
I stop her, mid sentence. I can't take her babbling right now.
"Sephy, look at your chest."
She laughs.
"Chest? Jo, I know you've always admired my boobs, but now is not the time for..."
She trailed off when she realised what she was seeing.
"I'm dead."
I nod. I don't know why nod, she can't see me move and I can't see her.
"How can I get to you?" she asks, and it's a while before I reply.
"I think... I think we are on different... Planes? We are obviously in the same place and time as I can see and hear you... But... Close your eyes."
Her body does not moves, but I know from the moment of silence she has done what I ask. But that moment doesn't last.
"I feel like I'm in a horror movie."
"Shh!" I frown, and close my eyes, too.
"What do I..."
"Shh!!!"
I keep my eyes closed, and breathe, deeply. I will myself to her. I don't know what I'm doing, but I think. Hard.
"Jo!"
I open my eyes, and she's there. For real.
