Death can be joyful and very liberating as Mr. Livingstone found out.

    When Mr. Reginald (“Rocky” to his few close friends) Livingstone woke up on November 1st, he was dead.

    He’d had that recurring nightmare again. Ever since he could remember, the nightmare had been a regular visitor to his sleep. In it, a veiled shadow was chasing him and, just as it was about to reveal its face, he always woke up.

        Mr. Livingstone decided that he was dead when he got out of bed. He had been in denial he thought. He had been dead for some time. Now upon admitting it, he felt as though he were floating. He admitted that he had been lying to himself; and now this huge burden of guilt was removed. It was strangely exhilarating; scary but freeing at the same time. It left a bittersweet but not unpleasant sensation in the pit of his stomach.

       He went through his usual routine. He began to rationalize. Routine was his life so he couldn’t very well give it up just because he was dead now could he?
·       Pushups (50)
·       Floss teeth
·       Shave
·       Pushups (another 50)
·       Brush teeth
·       Get dressed
·       Coffee
·       Put on shoes
·       Pick up briefcase
·       Push button on remote control for garage door
·       Open front door
·       Lock door
·       Get in car
·       Back out of garage
·       Push button on remote control to close garage door
·       Engage transmission
·       Drive to the office

        All this he did while dead and he found that he enjoyed it very much as his dead brain ticked “check” after each item on the routine list. He was also delighted to find that he could skip some items and nothing bad happened. So he skipped a lot of them. Yes, being dead was very freeing.

       As usual, Mr. Livingstone drove carefully but he found that, contrary to his usual fear of fender benders and such, he was completely relaxed and rather enjoying the drive. As he got closer to the downtown core, the traffic became more and more congested. Soon, it was at a standstill. Mr. Livingstone was not bothered by this at all. He was dead. He moved his dead body to the music. He wished he had some Grateful Dead tunes but Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” seemed appropriate enough and as he listened to the fast part, he felt uplifted and full of self-confidence. He could see the office building where he worked up ahead. “Foundation Fidelity Financial – In Us You Trust,” flashed the sign. Oh yeah, the good old FFF. Man, he could think of some words to fit those initials. Normally, he would chase those nasty thoughts from his mind. His mother had always said to chase away the devil thoughts with Jesus thoughts. Well now, he was dead and to hell with morals and long dead mothers who had constantly reminded him of how unworthy he was.

       The traffic was not moving at all. After some minutes, as the music to Led Zeppelin’s famous hit came to an end, Mr. Livingstone thought that a walk would do him good. Dead people don’t need cars anyway, he thought. He turned off the engine, took his briefcase and got out of the car. It was amazingly noisy and the rather frigid air was full of fumes but he was not bothered by any of this at all. Normally, he would be thinking of pollution and his health and global warming and the vanishing ozone layer and the melting polar ice caps and… and… and… But now? Ha! He could not have felt better. This dead to the world thing had something to it. It was very liberating. As he walked away from his car, the drivers behind him began to honk and shout curses at him. He was not oblivious to them. He rather basked in all the attention given him. Wow, finally, some recognition. I am stirring my surroundings for a change. Look at me! I am dead! Whee! I am free! He waved at the furious commuters with a beatific smile on his face as he walked across the lanes of traffic in the direction of the office tower.

        Mr. Livingstone entered the building and took the elevator to the twenty-second floor. He was late by some twenty-five minutes but he did not care. His colleagues stared in unbelief as he sauntered past their glassed-in offices. He smiled his serene smile. Had they never seen an unshaven man in pajamas before? Okay, so he’d forgotten his shoes. Had they not ever heard of how it was much better for one’s health to liberate one’s toes, particularly when one was dead? Most likely not. But they would learn. Soon. They would have to if they wanted to survive. They’d have to follow his example.

        He walked past Merle Bosman’s office. Merle – Mr. Livingstone was sure it was the first time he’d ever dared think of him as Merle and not as Mr. Bosman – the director of personnel, did not look pleased at all. In fact, he looked genuinely about to have a conniption. Mr. Livingstone thought of how he loved that word. Conniption was a good word. It could mean a lot. He’d never caused anyone to have a conniption before. Being dead gave him a new sense of power. At last he was making a difference around him. He was being noticed.

       “Conniption! Conniption! You’re having a conniption, Merle!” He laughed the hearty laugh of a truly happy man.

       Merle was gesticulating wildly at Mr. Livingstone. The latter smiled at him and entered his own office. From the corner of his eye, he could see Merle trying to get his attention and waving him over. Mr. Livingstone ignored him. He put down his briefcase. He stared at the logo on the paperweight on his desk. “Foundation Fidelity Financial – In Us You Trust” read the inscription in shining letters. How he hated that damned paperweight. Oops, had he actually said the “d” word? What would mother say? He chuckled. Who gives a flying futon? he thought. I am dead.

       Merle was banging on the glass partition now and emphatically waving Mr. Livingstone over to him. Mr. Livingstone slowly made his way into Merle’s office smiling his serene, senile smile all the while.

       “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Livingstone?” screamed the director of personnel. “Have you completely lost it?”

       “You could say that,” replied Mr. Livingstone very calmly. “I’m dead.” I’ve bought the farm as they say. Well actually, I sold the farm but that was in my past life when I was still alive. Yes indeed I have kicked the bucket. I’m pushing up daisies. My expiry date’s come due. I’m as dead as a doornail. I’ve cashed in my chips. I’m as dead as a bluebottle fly in a pitcher of milk. And you know what? I’m loving every minute of it. You should try it. You’d be way better off dead anyway. In fact, you are dead Merle. You are a dead man!”

       “Is that a threat, Livingstone? Are you threatening me?” demanded Merle.

       Mr. Livingstone smiled.

       “Is that all, Merle?” he asked. And before the incensed Merle could respond, Mr. Livingstone turned away and walked slowly back to his office.

       He went to his desk. He picked up the hated paperweight. It felt good in his hands, quite heavy but not too much so. Like a baseball. He looked into Merle’s office. The latter was on the telephone. Mr. Livingstone lifted the paperweight and, with all the strength of his newly acquired freedom in death, hurled it at the computer screen on Merle’s desk. With great fracas, the paperweight smashed through the glass partition, shattered the computer monitor’s screen and imbedded itself neatly there, the shining logo proclaiming, “Foundation Fidelity Financial – In Us You Trust.”

       Merle was visibly shaking. He had dropped the telephone and stood completely still. He appeared unreservedly horrified.

       Mr. Livingstone felt an ethereal sense of elation and well-being. He saw the policemen coming and went to greet them.

       “Good day, gentlemen,” he said. “I am the dead man you are looking for.”

       The police put him in handcuffs. His colleagues stared at him through their glass boxes. He could see that they were dead but they had not yet grasped the concept.

       “You’re all dead!” he screamed. “You just don’t realize how wonderful it is to embrace death.” Look at me! Look at how happy I am! I am free! Whee!”

       That night while Mr. Livingstone soundly slept the sleep of the dead, the shadowy figure came into his dream again. This time however, it had time to remove the veil from its face and Mr. Livingstone was thrilled to see that it was he, smiling lovingly at himself.

held my breath, strange how we dream some of the strangest dreams, then when we wake up to find that it was just a dream, some of them I am glad they are, that's for sure,

This was certainly an interesting story. Kept me glued to the screen with every line. Very descriptive story. Has a bit of humor in it but also depth and much to think about. After I finished reading the story I wanted more. Perhaps you can continue this story further... Oh and now I am inspired to get back into writing short stories and such again. Thank you. I have noticed you've used the word 'unbelief' in your story. I've never heard of this word before. It should say 'disbelief' instead...

Just a FYI: My sense of humor is non existant and I rarely laugh at anything, not even comedian stand-up routines I like. This really made me laugh. This story was about a man who isn't afraid of and is happy about death. This story made me think about Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." I don't know why though because there isn't a connection. I thought it was a moral story in a way, but the lesson is subtle. Livingstone has come to grips that he's free from the routine and all the stress of life because he's dead and as a result has no worries. Some thoughts I had. I thought the main character's name was appropriate and hilarious! I wondered if the main character had perhaps not lived in life so that was why he had the routine and went to work. That part that he went to work I didn't quite get. Keep in mind my lack of a sense of humor. The only reason Livingstone went to work was to cause and get into trouble. Something struck me as off there. Livingstone didn't have to go into work. He's dead. What was the point of him going to the office? He was there to teach his co-workers who were also dead to accept death and be happy about it. His co-workers hadn't come to grips with being dead and weren't happy about it. The problem was Livingstone didn't realize till later in the story that his co-workers were also dead. Why didn't he know that? It's funny that he would rub his own death in the faces of his living co-workers. Still, if everyone is dead, what happened to everyone? Again, that's why I thought this was some moral tale. I thought it was Livingstone's job to teach the other deceased that death was cool. But why would he have such a job? Maybe Livingstone's one of the rare deceased to be at peace with death and they are tasked to bring the other deceased ones over after they're at peace with it. The ending was off to me too. I didn't get the shadowy figure mentioned. I guess he could have been Hades or the Grim Reaper. Those guys would have fit the humor of the story. The ending made me wonder if Livingstone was dead or not. The beginning said he was and sleep is a euphemism for death. Still it wasn't clear why there was a shadowy figure in Livingstone's sleep. Maybe a sentence to reassure the reader Livingstone is indeed dead. It sounded like the movie "Groundhog Day" where everything repeats. That whole scenario goes with moral tales or it was just supposed to be funny. Wait a minute here. I've carried on way too far. This was just supposed to be hilarity. Forget all I've said because it'd change everything. Forgive my lacking sense of humor. Excellent tale. Will use this with my student.
