till death do us part

Love is the biggest fallacy of all. Not only is it a pain in your side it's also the cruelest joke of all. I was in love once and I eventually married the love of my life. Though the life part faded pretty quickly. We were on our honeymoon and I was kissing her and intoxicated by her. Which made it very easy to miss the knife that was thrust into my side by her. Death is odd i felt a lot of heat and pain and then I felt nothing. When I said till death do us part I thought I'd die of old age but murdered by my wife? How someone must be having a laugh. What surprised me was that I could still see and hear everything going on. Being a ghost is a lot like the movies you float above your body and wait for someone to collect you and take you well somewhere only that never happened. I see Kyle enter the room and start kissing my wife laughing at the scene together. Kyle and I were business partners till he managed to bribe the CEOs into a corporate takeover which left me out of a job. I hired a lawyer and we had piled a huge case against Kyle. We were actually doing very well and it looked like I'd get my company back. I had met my wife shortly after the case was being filed. I guess Kyle had planted her to get rid of me if it looked like I'd win the case. I float here seeing them kiss and laugh about my murder of how foolish I was. Im fumming and just think how these two deserve to suffer for this cruel joke. I punch Kyle and although my fists go through him he still goes flying into a wall. Both are screaming I get on top of him and start punching him. Blood starts to spray everywhere as his nose and teeth start to break. Eventually Kyle goes into a spasm and eventually stays still. My wife looks at the scene in horror I kiss her cheek and then push her out the window. The glass shatters and she falls getting impaled on the pools fence below. I look at the scene and know if there's a Hell I'm going to it but at least I'll have the last laugh.
