Fixing a Phantom

Nagashita Mitsuki

Nagashita Mitsuki

Jan 17, 2022

 I'm Mitsuki-Nagashita, I was born in Chinatown and grew up there. My father was from New York City. I was born on March, 10th, 1984. I was born It was fun and when my father died, my mother decided to move the two of us to New York City. That was when I was about 12 years old. From when I was thirteen to when I was seventeen all I had for fun was drugs and alcohol. I partied all day and all night.

  But one day I was in my bed smoking a blunt and drinking a bottle of Hennessy. Once the high and drunk wore off my head was hurting. I took a bunch of Tylenol and sat down to watch TV. My stomach started to hurt and I felt dizzy, I thought I was just a bit high. That's when I started to seize and foam from my mouth.

  I screamed in pain and my mother came rushing into the room. "Mitsuki, Do shita no", my mother shouted, crying. "Ikigadekinai", I said crying. I was wheezing and still foaming from the mouth. She looked over at the empty pill bottle on my bed. "Mitsuki, Anata wa naniwoshita", she cried picking up my phone. She dialed 911 and they put me in an ambulance. I was writhing in pain, my mother was holding my hand.

  "Sore wa itai, mama, it hurts so bad", I cried squeezing her hand. She was crying, "Daijobu", she told me. We got to the hospital and they took me to the OR. The surgery took a couple of hours but eventually, it was over. When I woke up my mother was next to me. "I'm sorry mom, Watashi wa gomen", I cried.

  "It's fine". I felt my heart jerk and then I had another seizure. All I heard was the hospital go into a code blue and my mother screamed as everything went black. When I woke up I was in a dark cramped box. I banged around on it, it sounded like metal. There was something tight around my big toe, I didn't have any clothes on, I was covered in a paper sheet. Suddenly the small door opened in front of me.

  I lay back down, I realized I was in the morgue, I had died. "Hello Mitsuki-Oh, the person at the morgue said examining my palish brown body. "Died at only 17 years old, drug overdoses, how sad", he said taking the thin sheet of paper off my body. He picked me up and put me on the table.

  Was he going to try and cut me open? He touched my breast, what the hell. "Your very beautiful Mitsuki", he said, kissing me on my lips. I was disgusted in every way possible. When I heard him take off his belt I opened my eyes, grabbed the scalpel, and shoved it into his stomach. "What the hell", he shouted as he fell to the ground.

  I punched him in the face, I was so strong. I hadn't even thought about the fact I had come back from the dead. I punched him until he passed out and took his clothes and ID. There was a book laying on the table. "Easy guide to being dead". Great, so I was still dead. I read through all the bullshit. It was a bunch of rules as a phantom.

  It told me how I have powers and how to learn which powers I have. I looked at a piece of glass and said out loud, "Phantom form". My skin turned completely pale, my eyes turned pitch black, and my hair flopped down. "Great, I'm a poltergeist", I said picking the book back up. I read through the rest of it.

  I was stuck in a dead-on Earth purgatory and had to escape. It gave me no instructions on how to do that though. I closed the book and tossed it. The grim reaper appeared in front of me. "Oh is it time for me to pass on", I asked. "No, you need help escaping purgatory, pick your weapon", he told me.

  There was a bat with nails, a chainsaw, a sword, and ninja stars. I looked at all of them and chose the bat with nails. I spun it around and smiled. "This is cool", I said, nodding my head. "Excellent choice, it fits you very well", he said, leaving. For 20 years I left the hospital and turned back to go to my old life. I still did drugs and drank though.

  (Neptune's POV)

  I wanted to find Veronica Leash so that I could learn about escaping purgatory. I was able to sense death, being a Banshee. I always knew when and how someone was going to die. Also if they're already dead. But I only get that feeling at graveyards. Every time someone I was near was going to die soon I felt eager to wail. 

  I had to hold it back, but if it got too strong I went into an alley to do it. One day I was walking in Central Park on my own at nighttime. There was a girl in sunglasses with long brown hair, a girl covered head to toe in clothing, and a girl in platform boots with an Afro walking down the trail. "Where are they going?", I thought. 

  The three of them walked past me and the death I felt was so strong I wailed at the top of my lungs. Breaking trees and blowing bushes away. This caused them to stop and turn around. The girl in the sunglasses took them off, it was Veronica! The girl covered head to toe was a skeleton. "Fuck", the girl with the Afro shouted.

  They ran faster than I could notice but I chased right after them. I ran as fast as I could on all fours. When I got to them they were at a small house. "Who are you?", they asked. "I'm Neptune-Ohasiki and I've been looking for Veronica Leash for a year. "You haven't aged a day Veronica". "How did you know that I was a phantom"?
