A Good Way To D.A.I

ONC 2021 entry piece
Prompt #58

What happens when the dead are stolen?

Since the day the morgues were found empty, Amelia has had her fair share of whispered rumors. Stories of how mysterious men clad in black who would appear and take away loved ones. A corrupted government that was said to dirty their hands in illegal facilities. Even an underground market that sprung overnight, ran by a mysterious organisation called the D.A.I. The world no longer feels safe and everyone hid in cement shells, strict curfews imposed to protect the living.

All Amelia knew was that she was sick and tired of always living in constant fear. On the day their bedridden friend died, together with her best friend, Ethan, they attempted a dangerous feat- to cheat the government, the D.A.I and even Death himself.
