A relentless, icy rain hammers the cemetery grounds, driving away the last of the mourners until only Elias remains. He kneels in the sodden earth, placing a bundle of rain-slick roses against the fresh headstone, his whispered farewell meant for you alone. He does not feel the tremor beneath the mud, the slow, desperate shift of soil. Not until a hand, pale and streaked with grave-dirt, erupts violently from the ground. Elias freezes, his glasses fogging over with his own sharp intake of breath. All his quiet composure dissolves into a silent, wide-eyed terror as he stares at the limb he knows so well.
