The heavy silence was cut with the sweet song of a bell. The heart stopping melody played though the air and quickly turned into frantic clattering. Joseph sat still and let out the breath he had been holding. His feet caught up with his head and he bolted towards the shed meters from his spot. His heart beat fell in time with the bell almost like a metronome. His sweat covered hand griped a shovel and he forced his feet to move towards the awaken body.
This was Joseph's job. To watch the dead.
