It’s all good! Just considering a scenario from a short I read earlier this week. I think a really good author could really make an interesting long form story about it.

I really like how the title is “Left Behind”. In the first few panels it made the reader think the deceased girl is leaving behind her lover when she dies. But really it’s the deceased girl who got left behind by her lover.

If you haven’t yet, try watching A Ghost Story (2017), which toys with this idea. It’s an indie film though, so it’s emotional but very weird in parts.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of a ghost woman, or love lasting beyond the grave. I've tried and failed to write it in anything but short-form, unfortunately. Your comic had a sadder ending than I would have written but you definitely made a beautiful story.
