Dead and loving it


I died two weeks ago, and boy, am I glad!

My "death" happened in a game of Mafia. I had the distinct honor of being the first hit called in by the mafia in the game, perhaps because I was the last surviving mafia member in the previous game. I joined this game of mafia with trepidation. I don't think anyone understands that mafia, while fun, is extremely stressful for me. I had a near panic attack everytime I read the mafia threads during the first game I played. I was so scared that anything I said would immediately implicate me that I found I could not speak at all, causing some folks to accuse me of laying low. I wanted to post, I really did, I just didn't know how.

So my early death in this second mafia game was a welcome relief. Now I could sit back and enjoy the game. I could read and speculate on my own and never worry about my impending death.

Best of all, I could ghost.

Originally I had thought I'd post a few times as xnera's ghost, making silly accusations such as "I vote we lynch the shadow behind my computer, as it looks really creepy this late at night". But I've been reading too much Nocturne Alley, and had come to love the idea of a story told through a journal. So by the end of my first day in the afterlife, I became a xnera, the blogging ghost. I have a feeling my spirit will be haunting the net for quite a while.

talk about it
