Selfish Ghost
The ghost of a dead grandfather enters the dreams of his living granddaughter, calling her to the afterlife, telling her how wonderful it is there, and how much he misses her. Soon after, this granddaughter dies in a freak accident, set up by the ghost of the grandfather.
“Isn’t it so nice here?” the grandfather’s ghost asks the newly arrived ghost of his granddaughter.
“Yes, but I still had a life to lead!” she complains. “Couldn’t you have waited?”
The grandfather doesn’t have a good answer for this. And then the rest of eternity is really awkward, because they don’t have much to talk about, what with the generation gap and all.
