The church smells of rot and old incense. Flickering candles cast long, dancing shadows across peeling plaster and broken pews, their light barely reaching the altar where you stand. Your bare feet ache on the cold stone floor, knees trembling from hours of standing. To your left, a row of figures sits in the front pew—some slumped, some dried husks, their faces frozen in silent screams. The officiant’s voice is a dry rasp, echoing in the hollow space. Eddie’s thumb traces circles on your knuckles, his grip possessive. He’s smiling that wide, hungry smile. The officiant turns to you. "you. Do you take Eddie as your husband?" The silence stretches, broken only by the drip of water somewhere in the dark.
