Jane
Jane placed a single white rose on Sarah's coffin. She stepped back and the coffin was lowered down into the earth.
Her boots sunk into the rain soaked grass. There was no one left at the cemetery. During the funeral, she hung back watching from a distance as her friends sobbed over their dead friend. Rain started to fall, distracting her from her misery.
"Miss, the cemetery is closing."
The undertaker had a permanent scowl on his face.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just leaving."
She looked up and the sky had gone from grey and blue to grey and blood orange.
Later that night, Jane soaked in the bathtub, and scrubbed blood from under her nails.
