A man falls in the snow, hits his head on a curb, and dies. But something strange occurs: the man doesn't die, and the ghost that's been sent to take his soul to the afterlife is flabbergasted. Going immediately to its boss, the ghost asks, what should I do now? The boss says, we don't know how this happened but we're working on it. We want you to stay with this man to help us figure out what's going on. The ghost agrees unhappily; it is a ghost, not a nursemaid. But a funny thing happens--the ghost falls madly in love with the man's girlfriend, and things naturally get complicated. Soon afterward, the man discovers he did not die when he was "supposed" to because for the first time in their history, human beings have decided to take their fates back from the gods. It's a wonderful change, but one that comes at a price.--From publisher description.… (más)
Un hombre cae en la nieve, se golpea la cabeza contra un bordillo de piedra y muere; sin embargo, sucede algo extraño: el hombre no está realmente muerto, y el fantasma que ha sido enviado para llevarse su alma a la otra vida queda estupefacto. Tras acudir de inmediato a su jefe, el fantasma le pregunta qué debe hacer, a lo que el jefe le responde que no sabe cómo ha sucedido, pero que están trabajando en ello. Mientras tanto, desea que permanezca junto al hombre para que puedan averiguar lo que está ocurriendo. El fantasma acepta de mala gana; es un espectro y no una niñera, sin embargo sucede algo inesperado: se enamora locamente de la novia del hombre y las cosas, obviamente, se complican bastante.

Like a spider web you walk into, it is not so easy to get all the tendrils of real love off after you have passed through it.
Usually at least once in a person’s childhood we lose an object that at the time is invaluable and irreplaceable to us, although it is worthless to others. Many people remember that article for the rest of their lives…If we describe it to others and explain why it was so important, even those who love us smile indulgently because to them it sounds like a trivial thing to lose. Kid stuff. But it is not. Those who forget about this object have lost a valuable, even crucial memory. Because something central to our younger self resided in that thing. When we lost it, for whatever reason, a part of us shifted permanently.
