The mortuary stood at the edge of the city, a monolithic structure shrouded in silence and secrets. Its walls bore witness to countless stories of lives ended too soon, whispers of the unknown lingering in its dimly lit halls.

Yet, as the nights grew longer, and the shadows deeper, she found herself ensnared by the eerie aura of the place. Strange symbols carved into bodies, cryptic whispers in the silence, and a growing sense that someone-or something-was watching. This was no ordinary mortuary. It was a threshold between the living and the dead, where every corpse held a story and every shadow concealed a secret. Lyra was about to discover that the dead don't always rest-and some secrets are buried for a reason. What began as a job to escape her own demons would soon become a descent into the unknown, where the line between life and death was as fragile as the whispers in the dark.
