The chill that permeated the morgue was a constant reminder of the chasm between the world of the living and the dead.

Standing in the shadows of the entrance, Alyssa and Jasper allowed Landon to say his final farewell to Angelina.

Angelina's lifeless face looked as pretty as ever. Covered with a white cloth, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully with a smile. It was as if she was in the middle of a lovely dream she would never wake up from.
