The Shortcut

Midnight chimed as I wobbled my way home after too many
 
drinks at the bar.

I was cutting through the local cemetery to avoid getting hit by
 
traffic when two girls ran towards me.

“Can we walk with you? This place is creepy at night,” one said.

Being in unusually gay and cheerful spirits, I decided to tease
 
them, saying:

“I agree. I was terrified walking here alone when I was alive.”

I never saw anyone run faster than these two ladies.
