I WAS FLOATING ABOVE MY BED

LIKE A BODY IN A RIVER, IN A CAR

AND THE ONLY SOUND IN MY HEAD

WAS A DYING CRICKET IN A JAR

AND I SAW LITTLE BEAMS OF LIGHT

COME INTO THE BEDROOM

FROM UNDERNEATH THE DOOR

AND THEY CRAWLED UNDER MY SHEETS

AND THEY CAME OUT OF EVERY SINGLE PORE

WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU

WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU

WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU

FLOWERS GROW OUT OF MY GRAVE

DISCLAIMERS:

hello! i am max! nice to meet you <3

first things first, this book has mature themes such as mentions of various mental health issues, loss of loved ones, and others. i try to remember to put trigger warnings at the beginning of potentially triggering chapters, but sometimes i forget. if a chapter is missing a trigger warning, don't be afraid for comment. please be careful and take care of yourself!

second, i'd recommend reading future ghosts before reading this book. there will be several references back to future ghosts and its characters. you'll still be able to figure out what's going on without having read it, but everything will be much more meaningful if you read it.

also, please don't copy my work. you can use similar ideas and make them your own, but please know that if you copy my work, it will be reported.

if there are any typos/errors, please don't hesitate to point them out so i can fix them! comments are appreciated!

enjoy!
