Crypt of Silence

Chapter 10 - The boundary between Illusion and Reality

The suffocating silence had covered the place ... the sky was completely dark and cloudy, the rain had started some time ago.

Aditya was frozen in front of the side hallway which the Morgue was at the end of it.

He felt a strange sense of unease with anxiety that he had never experienced before. He hesitantly continued his steps forward when he reached the door of Morgue, which was still shaking as someone passed by.

He paused for a moment ... he thought to himself, "What am I doing here? It's better to get to the parking as soon as possible" but the feeling of unknown curiosity invited him into the room.

He finally overcame his doubts and entered Morgue ... There was usually little traffic there ... The guests in that room were always silent.

The room was bright with cool, dim light, The large wall-mounted refrigerator that corpses were kept in it, covered one of the walls. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner around the room.

The body of the same person who had died in an accident some time ago was on the autopsy table in the middle of the room and was covered with a white cloth.

When Aditya's eyes fell on him, his face flushed with sadness. His heart was like the sky, cluttered and sad.

He walked towards him with heavy steps ... When he reached his body, he took a deep breath and looked at him in despair ... A mass lump grabbed his throat ... He slowly put his hand on the corpse's head and said "My friend, I sincerely regret that I disappointed you and I could not keep my promise"

He lowered his head sadly ... His eyes got wet with tears again.

A few moments passed in the same way.

Aditya tried to adjust himself and overcome his emotions, He turned back to get out of the room.

He grabbed the doorknob and pushed it forward. At that moment, he heard the sound of the metal bases of the autopsy table rubbing against the ground, which was a sign of its movement.

He became a little worried because he didn't expect any sound ... without returning, while he was standing at his place, he listened more carefully again. The sound of the table bases became clearer ... he spun quickly.

At that moment he was confronted with an image that didn't expect to see ... he was so shocked that he pushed back with a sharp shake.To keep his balance, used a small metal table next to the door.

He was nailed in his place with wide eyes and open mouth, looking at the autopsy table in disbelief.

The corpse had pulled away the cloth from his face and was sitting in an upright position.

He was looking at Aditya with his matte eyes while his pale face was devoid of any emotion.

Aditya was looking at him without blinking with a scared face.

After a few seconds, he raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the room, and while pointing to a corner of the room, he turned his face in the same direction.

Aditya had frozen in his place. His thoughts had reached a dead end. he thought his mind was completely empty.

He looked at the point of the corpse, confused and astonished. He was referring to a poster on the side wall at the entrance to the room, The poster was installed in a place where the surroundings were not very bright ... Aditya narrowed his eyes while frowning so that he could see better ... When he paid more attention, noticed a sentence on the poster: "Death is undeniable and yours is near." Seeing that sentence Aditya gasped, turning quickly toward the body.
