In my final month, I booked a mortician online. Rumor had it this guy was top-notch—handles everything from fixing up the deceased to full funeral packages. Ideal for someone like me, with no one to claim my body. But, just my luck, the guy who shows up? My ex from five years ago—the one I ghosted. Talk about awkward. He spots me on the hospital bed and nearly bails. "No way I'm dealing with you," he snaps, already turning to leave. I stumble out of bed, blocking his exit. "Chill, it's a mix-up! This is for my grandma!" He gives me a hard stare, face like thunder, then finally grabs my card with a grunt. I breathe a quiet sigh of relief. Money paid, deal sealed. When I'm gone, he's stuck with me, like it or not.
