When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing on the lid of a casket in an open grave.

STEPPING OUT OF MY GRAVE

by David Berardelli

Crossing the street to get his mail, thirty-six-year-old Jake Mild is run over by some idiot in a tricked-out truck and wakes up standing in an open grave. Figuring he must have died, he hurries back to his apartment to keep his ex-wife from cleaning him out, but instead meets Sierra, a young girl with a black eye and split lip, walking along the road. Jake tags along, discovers he can do a cool vanishing thing and move stuff with his mind. But will all his new abilities as a ghost give him the power to rescue a living girl who desperately needs help?
