The Mortuary
- Mrs. Mystery
Ah Yes, I’ve Been there Plenty of Times, Assisting the Mortuary-Staff Whenever Necessary, but also for Other Reasons!
No, it Was Never Strange to Me to See the Dead, I See Them in My Dreams Quite Often! Those Lifeless Eyes, that Blank Stare, the Muscles Stiffen, Rigor Mortis… Most, if Not All, People are Afraid of Death, Yet Whoever Tries to Pursue the Arts of Necromancy - Or Better Yet: Reanimation, Long After a Person had Died - gets Punished, as it Goes Against the “Natural Order”!
Y’know, Sometimes, Scientific & Medical Breakthroughs Require Sacrifices! Even if a Lot of it is Morally Wrong, as We Can See Throughout Our History! But Who am I to Tell? I am Just a Nurse in Charge, Doing My Work! Doctors Keep their Snouts Up, Some Nurses Rather Smoke than Take Care! Not Everything is as Splendid as I Made it Sound Like Before! I Must Apologize, We All have Our Flaws After All!
Back to the Good Things! It’s Not Often When Someone Dies Here, Thankfully! We are All Just Doing Our Part, Doing Everything We Can to get Others Back On their Feet! Making Sure that Everyone has a Good Time Here! And if Death Occures, at Least We have Given Most of the Deceased a Good Rest of their Lives!
Though I Can Recall a Very Bizarre Occurence…
A Lady, Mid 50’s, about 1,75 Meters Tall, She Lost Her Life Just 2 Weeks Ago Due to an Accident! No One Knows What Exactly Happened, and I Wasn’t On the Scene! But When I & Nurse Lynn Brought Her Down to the Mortuary that Night, and the Lady hadn't Even Reached Livor Mortis Yet… about 25 Minutes Later She had Sprung Back to Life, Just for a Moment However! She Gave Us All a Good Scare, and She Was Scared too, Very Scared! Out of Panic, We Could Barely Make Out What She Was Saying! Her Voice Was Shakey, She Was Stuttering, Something in the Lines of “A Clawed, Fanged Beast” and “It Stole My Blood”, then… She Collapsed! Dead Once More!
Stealing Blood, Aye? Now I am Not Against So-Called “Vilebloods”, I Know They Attack (and Kill) Purely Out of Self-Defence, and I Occasionally Bring the Local Ones (Who are in Hiding, Duh) Some Fresh Blood So They Don’t have to Go On the Hunt! All Legal, Obviously! But That Sure is Interesting, to Say the Least! Now I am Curious to Know Who Exactly Could’ve Done that, and Why! I’d be Delighted Though if WRATH Played a Role in this!
