I clumsily step on the butt of my cigarette when I hear the low engine of a truck. More bodies.
"Bro, "The driver walks out and we fist bump. "Does the sun never shine in this part of the country? "
"I tend to think so too. "I say as we walk to the back of the truck. "How many? "

"Let's fill em up then. "we transfer the occupied body bags to the morgue.
"So, I'll leave you to it? "he uncomfortably shifts his body weight from one leg to another. I could easily tell he could not wait to get the hell out of the morgue.... My morgue.

One by one I transfer the bodies into the freezers. Then I pick up the girl. Strange how her skin wasn't as pale as the others. I lift her naked body and head for the open freezer. I feel a finger twitch? I was going crazy just like my friends told me. I blame it on the cigarettes I'd smoked earlier, I'll stop smoking that shit.
"Fuck! "I curse almost dropping the body when I feel her fingers weakly clutch on my shirt. What the hell was happening!
I watch in horror as her eyelids barely open. And a whisper escapes her purple lips.
"Help me.... "
