STORY: At age 8, his father died of cancer, and his mother died of grief shortly after. Grew up with his maternal grandparents, which he wasn't very close to, and that didn't make much of an effort to become close to him either.

SETTING
----------

Modern-day setting, but with a twist. When people die, two things can happen to them:  they can continue to exist on earth, but as 'ghosts', or they can 'ascend', which is the equivalent of going to heaven or hell. No one really knows what happens after you ascend.
People that were happy with their lives ascend when they die, but those who weren't become ghosts.

Ghosts in here are pretty much the same as in other media: can float,  go through objects, invisible to the common person's naked eye, etc. However, they are not immortal. They are made of a type of energy, and if they run out of it, they fade away.

Ghosts are also terribly afraid of whatever caused their deaths. For example, one who drowned would be afraid of water, and such. This does not apply to those that commited suicide; instead, these would possess a smaller amount of energy, and would fade away quicker.

Their energy also affects if they able to interact with physical objects or not. If one has a high amount of energy, they would be able to move things around, like a poltergeist.

It is possible for a living human to be able to see ghosts, but it is not simple. In order to do so, one must:
1) Have suffered a near-death experience (will be able to see them clearly)
2) Have had a close friend, familiar, or loved one die and become a ghost. (ability to see them evolves with time)
3) Have a natural ability that allows them to do so. (varies)

The story takes place on a yet-unnamed city, which features a school, an amusement park and a river, which has a bridge passing over it.
