Wedding Dress

Oh the dream of every women. The sigh of the thought that one day she will meet the perfect guy at the perfect time. Everything will go smoothly and little by little their love will bloom. Then one day he will kneel in front of her and present to her a ring, asking her if she wants to marry him. She will excitedly say yes and throw herself against her laughing boyfriend. They were planning on getting married and many preparations had to be done before they could start their new lives.

Days went by faster than usual but sometimes they also seemed to slow down. The couple spent their days happily going from place to place getting things ready for their big day. In these times some couples were even more united while others separated and voiced their different decisions. One can easily distinguish between who will have a happy marriage and who will not. Luckily, this couple seemed to have gotten even closer thanks to their engagement. It seemed like their marriage was going to be good and prosperous.

The church, the salon, the food, the drinks, the invitations, the cake, everything was almost ready the only thing that was left was for the woman to choose her dress and accessories that she was going to wear on her big day. She was nervous and excited at the same time as she entered a very prestigious wedding dress store. All she could see were dreeses from left and right. The building was bigger than how it looked from the outside. It was a very deceiving building. From all the beautiful dresses, she chose an elegant yet simple strapless dress that had a little bit of a tail. Its design was kind of vintage with a bit of a modern touch. All of the dresses had names which was really strange and the names were even stranger. Hers was Morte.

As she looked in the mirror she was speechless. It was time, it was finally time and she wasn't ready in the least. Her hands started to tremble slightly as she thought of what was going to happen in just a few minutes, but she was happy. It was finally time and even though she was nervous she knew she was ready. With one last look in the mirror she turned around and walked out the door to the entrance of the church.

The music started playing and she finally entered. She saw her family, friends, and everyone looking at her as she passed and as she looked up she locked eyes with her soon to be husband. Everything was perfect but something was wrong, they were all still looking at the entrance.

She didn't understand what was happening. Nobody could see her. She had already reached the altar and still nobody noticed her. She moved her hands in front of her groom, she talked to them, she screamed and still nobody noticed her, nobody heard her, nobody saw her. While she had been trying to make everybody notice her presence, people started to murmur. They thought she had abandoned the love of her life, but she hadn't, she was right there.

Soon the murmurs were silenced by an ear piercing scream. Panicked, her love dashed to see what had happened and she ran beside him, wanting to see what had happened too. They followed the scream and ended up in the same room she had left not too long ago but what she saw was not what she had expected. She would have never thought that this could have been possible. How can her body be right there on the ground if she was standing right there in the doorway? It was not possible. How could this have happened? She was right there and that thing wasn't her. She was not dead!
