(Liam pov)
I had two things one my mind when I came walking out of that cemetery:  my brother and a place to call home. Turns out my brother was thinking the same exact thing because he was at the bench outside the cemetery.
"Liam?" Cried the small nine year old boy with bugs in his eyes," is it really you? What happened to me? What happened to you? I'm scared!"
He came running into my arms, he was cold, dead cold. Sammy stopped and looked up at me
"You're so cold, Liam, you feel like you're a corpse"
My eyes widened; I then remembered what has happened. No; it can't be! I didn't shoot myself in the head! I didn't kill myself! My hand reached up to my head and I could put my whole finger into my temple, yes, I did kill myself.
"S-Sammy... We're dead"
My younger brother's eyes widened
"N-No, No we didn't! Please say you're just playing one of your pranks on me Liam! I'm not dead! You're not dead!"
I had to show him, he would never believe me. I walked up to the brown haired boy and shoved my hand into his eye socket. It didn't hurt him; because there was no eye socket there; no eye ball, just a hollow hole.
"Oh my god" he said," we're dead!"
I didn't mind that we were dead to be honest, I had nothing to live for. Neither did Sammy, we only had each other to live for. And if we died we were going to do it together.
"Come on" I said and grabbed his hand walking into the forest behind us.

Time had passed and we found out that Sammy had broken his neck when he died. So, Sammy kept turning his head all they way around and creeping me out!
"This is good," said Sammy smiling, "we're dead"
I pulled down the hood of my black trench coat and looked at my little brother.
"Yea," I said smiling," we're dead"
We continued walking for a few minutes, obviously not knowing where we were going. After some time, there was a sound, like a twig snapping. I looked behind myself and pulled Sammy closer. He looked back too and pulled himself into my chest
"Big brother, I'm scared" Sammy cried
I picked him up and held him,"it's ok, Sammy, I've got you!"
We turned back around to keep walking, and there IT stood. I don't even know what it is! It has a face of a spider and eight legs, but it's form is that of a human.... What is that thing?
Sammy gasped and started crying into my shoulder, I too gasped in awe at the thing. Next to it came a little girl, she was cute from afar but up close, like we are, she's terrifying. The blond pigtails of the girl that looks around Sammy's age had bugs and was knotted. The insects mostly pertain to... All of those ants! They were coming out of her eyes, mouth, nose, everywhere! They stood together for a few seconds with silence, then,
"Hello, children, are you my next meal?"
