The crypt

Mossy moisture covers your paralysed body like a shroud. A strange sensation you do not notice that your lungs expand or contract anything. Not even steam comes from your lips, dry and dark like cherries in conserve.

Am I dead?

You try to speak, but none of your facial muscles or dry tongue moves a millimetre. You are lost in the cold embrace of death.
