whatever was moving beneath it, moved even faster. The moment she touched it, the thing darted somewhere else.

A burst of frenzied barking erupted from overhead.

She looked up. A man stood before her, holding several wild dogs on chains. He wore a baseball cap and a face mask, revealing only a pair of dark, unreadable eyes.

Without a word, the man let go of the chains. The pack of wild dogs lunged toward the overturned urns. Their claws raked the ground without pause, heedless of pain. Then, they lifted their legs and urinated directly onto the ashes.

"Stop! Stop!" Yvette's scream rang out in desperation.

Earlier, when Ethan had told her that the Jenkins family graves were destroyed by wild dogs, she hadn't believed a word. She had assumed it was Marcus' doing, never imagining actual dogs could wreak such destruction.

But they were real. And there were many of them. They followed the masked man's command, but still retained all the vicious instincts of feral animals.

There was no saving the Jenkins family's ashes anymore. Yvette screamed until her voice cracked, but the dogs kept digging, undeterred. The ground was soon in chaos. The air reeked with the acrid stench of urine.

"No. No..." she cried as tears streamed down her face. The Jenkins family was truly unable to rest in peace.

"Mrs. Jenkins Senior, how do you feel about all this?" the man finally spoke.

At the sound of it, Yvette jerked her head up. "It's you!"

"That's right. It's me."
