Nine-year-old Johnny came down the stairs, and found his parents in the living room. "Mom, dad," he said, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to school today." His mother answered him with a sob. His father was silent. "Okay," he said, then went back upstairs. He was dead.

Didn't you guys get it? His mother answered him with a sob, and his father was silent! Who would be dead, of course, but the boy?!

Was he dead before he came down stairs and told them he wasn't going to school? I know, a stupid question...but, it seems to fit.

So he was dead and he came to his parents as a ghost, not knowing that he was dead? His parents did not see him but he saw them?

work on the ending a bit more. It works better if we feel a connection with the child. Nice try at angst though.

It sounds like a scene that was cut from the sixth sense.

I'm quite unsure what you asked. Was this a quote for your boss or a story for the tabloids?
