Desire of the Soul

When Rosalinda awoke, she was no longer alive. She was as light as air and could see her body floating in the bath like flotsam in a crimson sea, but this is not what she wanted. She did not want to be damned to the damned earth, but it seemed as if her soul was destined to stay if only for one thing. Desire. The desire for Fredzik. This desire allowed her to live on, to love Fredzik for eternity without his knowing. When he awoke in the mornings she would be there. When he was in class she would sit right next to him When he went to sleep she would kiss him goodnight, but he would never feel a thing. She could be with him forever, and it was all she ever wanted when she was living, but not this way.
