Claim a home
You look around, the nicer homes already being claimed by the more human-like skunks. Quite a few people are trying to compete ranging from physical to mental challenges. You ponder what kind of competition could be had by someone who is already dead, as surely no one can feel pain or get tired anymore so you walk closer to investigate this.
The arm wrestling you can see an obvious way for the winner to be determined, the boxing not so much. In fact it was quite amusing to see skunk people taking blows that would have put Mike Tyson in the ER for a few days and getting right back up as if nothing happened, like they were cartoon characters or something.
Of course you still need to find a home before the good ones are claimed. You turn and look at the open doors hoping to find one that meets your standards. Luckily you didn’t need anything too fancy. A bed, a basic bathroom, possibly a kitchen (although you don’t know where you will get the food for it) maybe a TV to watch some of your favorite show Hell’s Kitchen, you realized the irony seconds after thinking this.
Finally after searching you eventually find a burrow partially dug into a hill. Each room still has a window to the outside despite the room being buried. The bed is a simple hammock and folds away giving you a living room during the day and a bedroom at night. The door responses to your touch locking and unlocking itself.
So now, time to meet your neighbours. Hopefully they are not annoying enough to force you to find another place. The real estate market in the hereafter is tougher than one would expect even without money ever coming into the equation.
Now that you’re settled in and waiting on body correction you are left with getting it out in the open. Yes, the one thought you’ve had since you realized you passed on, but weren’t willing to think about it. The people you have left behind, of course if it was large enough they are here somewhere too. Perhaps there was a list somewhere of everyone caught in the Island Explosion, you made a mental note to check.
Of course with how big this area of the afterlife is and with you being the only human in skunk land, it may be quite hard to even find another human at all. And when the skunk in your body comes to here and does not find you, who knows what would happen.
So for now , would it best to stay in the general area and hope that they can sort this mess out quickly.
