Saturday Centus

This week we only have fifteen words to work with. Hoo boy. Jenny says that she's looking to provoke "deep thoughts" with this prompt, but as always, I prefer to not go very deep. I'm a "stay right at the surface" kind of guy, so here's a short scene:

HE: Before I die, I want to--

SHE: But you're a ghost. You're already dead.

[beat]

HE: Shit.

If I were one to LOL, I'd be doing that right now. I'm far too much of a deep thinker to rise to this bait.

(I do love the direction you went.)

LOL! Made me think of the old joke: "If a man is in the forest and no woman is around, is he still wrong?" That now extends beyond the grave!
