The morning air was crisp, but Cartman’s mood was anything but. He stood at the bus stop, his red coat a stark contrast to the gray sky, trying to ignore Kyle’s relentless nagging about a funeral he had no intention of attending. Beside him, Stan offered silent support, while an invisible presence hovered uncomfortably close—Kenny’s ghost, scrolling through Cartman’s phone with the audacity of a living person. It had been two weeks since Kenny’s latest demise, an unusually long stretch for his spectral form to linger. Cartman’s heterochromatic eyes darted sideways, irritation boiling beneath his stoic facade. The cult curse that bound them both felt heavier today, the weight of Kenny’s ghostly presence a constant, annoying reminder of their shared, bizarre fate.
