A Friend and a Stranger

I was off work today (thank god). As I woke from my slumber I remembered I had to meet Rick at the church grave yard. Before you say "I thought you were an introvert!" Rick is dead, he's been dead for 7 years. He died in a car accident driving from the "Strip Her"strip club. He's been a huge help showing me around this quaint town. Thank god I can only speak to ghosts with my mind or people would think I was crazy. You know what? So what if I am crazy. No one would care anyway, both of my parents passed on and so far, my sister has abandoned me ever since she met that asshole lawyer. I have no one living in my life that i care about. I finally arrived at the graveyard (cemetery, whatever) and I met Rick sitting on his grave (i'm so punny) He was dark skinned and wore a blue t-shirt with torn jeans, grey "Addidas", and a red hoodie. "Hey man! How's it going?" I thought to him. He smiled "I'm good dude. How's your life here?" "Still don't know anyone." I reluctantly thought back. We "talked" for a good hour then it started to rain, hard. I'm talking like niagra status here, It was painfull (and hilareous for Rick). "Rick?" I asked after I somewhat dried off, "Are you scared about passing on today?" Rick looked at me "Nah man, it's just a part of life. I mean death." his expression changed into a sad, almost lonely look "I'll miss hanging out with you though." "yeah, the feeling is mutual." I replied. Not much happened after that, once he started to see the light we said our goodbyes and I left the church. Why is it that every time I make friends they have to leave? It was around 6:00 am as I walked home to catch up on my sleep. I walked up the stairs and I guess I skipped my door and accidentally opened the door of my neighbors apartment (Alasto to i think?). Embarrassed, I said "sorry, wrong door." and quickly walked away. He gave me a funny look, I guess I do seem odd to the average person. I opened the door to my apartment (the right one this time) and collapsed on the couch. I turned on the TV; apparently there was a break-in at the CVS. I looked around my living room and noticed the window was open, I looked outside (nothing) and closed the sash. Maybe it was out of mental exhaustion, or my body ran out of steam, but i collapsed on the floor, then blackness.
