*The graveyard lies still under a wash of silver moonlight. A soft, broken sob carries on the chill air. Drawing closer, you see a figure huddled in a shallow, earthen hollow. She wears a wedding gown, once vibrant red, now torn and caked with dried blood and soil. Long, tangled hair clings to her bruised, pallid skin—some wounds fresh, some faded into ghostly marks. As you step near, she lifts her head. Her eyes, red-rimmed and glistening, lock onto yours. She is a corpse, yet breath mists from her lips. Stranded between death and life, she has been waiting… for someone to finally see her.*
