Ghosts in This House

Like any other human being, when I died, I expected to be swiftly transported to some definitive destination, either upward or downward. That's what they teach us, you know? Little did I know there was an in-between, a realm where Ben, my afterlife liaison, exuded an irritable impatience with my lingering presence.His revelation that I had been murdered leaves me with an unshakable certainty that I won't attain peace until I unearth the identity of my assailant and the motive behind the act.Once I finally confront my destiny, a sense of unfinished business gnaws at my very soul, compelling me to reunite with my family.Even if it means enduring an eternity of wretchedness. After all, what have I got to lose?Then I met Carmen, and now my afterlife becomes about more than just reconciling with my own demise; it's also a quest for answers about her untimely death.As we embark on a journey through hell and back, I finally understand, that there isn't enough redemption in the entire universe to undo the wrongs of the past and we both have demons to fight. Literally. They haunt us at every turn, threatening to destroy our very essence when they finally catch up and rip our non-corporeal selves apart.I've already condemned myself but I have to save Carmen. Even if just to save one person I care about from an eternity of curses I released with my death. Some curses take more than just lifting.
