This isn't based on a true story, of course.

Enjoy! ;)


 I was in a bit of a rush. I was certainly going to be late.

I slipped on a black dress, black heels, and made my way out the door.


I finally arrived. Everyone had grief-stricken looks on their faces. Some crying, others trying to hold back tears that were threatening to come down.

I looked around me. No one seemed to acknowledge my presence. It was as if I was invisible. 

I walked forward.


It was an odd feeling I had as I walked past them. It was only a small crowd of people yet no one  had made eye contact with me.


I stopped at my destination, the casket, which contained the body.  

I creaked open the casket.

I now figured out why no one had acknowledged me when I peered into the casket and saw myself.
