Forgotten Vows Friday: Hey, Can You Proofread This Even Though You're Dead?

A silly and kinda bittersweet idea I had a few weeks ago -- not long after Victor's death, Alice finds herself having to write his obituary for the paper. She's struggling with it (as you might, having to sum up your beloved spouse's life in a few paragraphs), and while she finally produces a draft she's mostly happy with, she can't help but wonder if it's what Victor would have liked in an obituary.

. . .Then she remembers that, despite Victor being dead, she can still send him letters, thanks to the "Reaper's Speech" spell.

Cue her sending Victor's obituary down to Victor himself in the Land of the Dead so he can approve it. Victor sends it back with a snarky letter about her making him proofread his own obituary, before reassuring her it's fine, go ahead and send it in.

(And then, when she dies, Chester pulls the exact same trick on her. Victor is deeply amused, while Alice is like, "welp, this is what I get.")
