Another great bit of short fiction! I saw it coming pretty early on, but does make me wonder about the confusion of the suddenly departed. On a side note, somebody once gave me a pen that actually did feel like it weighed 15-20 pounds; ironically, they gave it to me because they knew I liked to write longhand, and wanted to give me a fancy pen. Of course, I received the gift with aplomb, and never told them it was for too heavy a pend to write with regularly. Cheers!
I think the author was thinking of the confusion some seriously hurt people will display and how a dead spirit may be the same. I once received a pen like that too. People don't realize how much exercise longhand writing actually is. I taught myself to write with my off-hand and the biggest obstacle to overcome was exertion and muscle cramps.
@@grumpyoldslan I taught myself to write legibly with my offhand, too. I cheated a bit by copying how my friend, a lefty, held his pen by wrapping his thumb-index grip point almost 180 degrees around from my normal right-hand grip. EDIT: My grandmother was a lefty, and the nuns forced her to write right-handed, because they considered the left to be the devil's hand. She was born in 1913, so that would have been just after WWI or so. She wrote right-handed her whole life, but was left-hand dominate for most other things.

And many years later, Bruce Willis would play the role.... :)
Cool
Yes it was easy to see where it was going but interesting none the less
