Gary set up Sweetie's room in my old study . He kept his own room . Thought my room would stay empty . But soon , the assistant brought people with new things . My closet now held all my favorite outfits . New books appeared on the desk . Magazines I read every season and new releases from favorite authors . Outside , toiletries to tableware - all had my share . Sweetie's room needed little since basics were done . " I'm home . " I slowly lay on my bed . Now , as a spirit , I finally had shelter . 0.0 % Knew I'd fade eventually . But leaving ? Not anymore . " Sweetie , Gary , I can't let go now . " I carefully buried myself under the quilt .
