Original song by The Doobie Brothers
Vocals & Animation by Jill D'Entremont
I cheat the hangman
And even when life has flown away
I leave a kiss behind...
A ghost story just in time for Halloween! I loved this song the moment I heard it, and I quite literally woke up 2 months ago in the middle of the night with this entire animation in my head. Thus it began :D
Storyline:
After his execution, Ace Gallagher does not realize that he has died. Athena, filled with sorrow, is unable to see him, and is unable to let go of the pain brought by his death. Soon, Ace realizes the only way he can cheat death is by leaving behind a love that will never fade, and only then can the two see each other one last time.
With love in their hearts, Athena returns home, allowing Ace to travel home as well.
"So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you."
John 16:22
*note that this is not "canon" to Ace's story ;) Just artistic
