My idea is about a clinically depressed teenager named Liza. Her parents are divorced, her mother abuses her, and everyone at school thinks she's a creep. Feeling overcome with sadness, she stabs herself and dies. Soon after, she arrives in heaven where she meets a middle-aged man named Joseph, who died of cancer. He explains that he wanted to live forever, but died because he couldn't withstand living. But he said Liza could've lived as long as she liked, but chose to be dead. Suddenly, Liza sparks an idea. She decides that since they both wanted to live a different life they should come back to Earth in an alternate reality to try again. Joseph says that's total fantasy, but Liza decides to go on a journey to do it. She decides immediately to go tell God, but after a chat with a local angel (the angels are like servants to the people in heaven), she hands him a message. After explaining her situation to him, he wrote back and said that would be extremely hard to do. He said that would be impossible since the point about being dead is not being able to come back. The only way would be to come back as a ghost, kill someone, and go back to Earth as the age she was right before any of her depression started. But if she died in her new life, she couldn't start over another time. Liza knows it's crazy but does it anyway. She rises from the grave and immediately runs to her former high school. She tracks down her rival, the very popular, wicked Penny, and, since ghosts are invisible, strangles her. But soon she realizes that she completely changed the future. Penny's friends feel they don't want to live without Penny and commit suicide as well. And since Liza's state of mind has been changed, she doesn't know that her parents are going to get divorced. It happens again and Liza finally realizes that there really are no second chances at life and decides to make a change. She calls the authorities and flees to a more safer foster home, where her spirits brighten and people start to respect her.
THE END
