Rest In Peace.....?

The Funeral.....

The air was cold and I wrapped my arms around myself to keep warm.

I was dressed in black but that didn’t help much. I was practically shivering…

 

I looked around. The cemetery looked damp. Everybody was mourning. That’s what people do when people die…..

 

I stood away from everybody else. I didn’t have the courage to look at the crying faces or the lifeless body….

 

I looked down at my hands. They were pale. My whole body was. Maybe all the crying had its effect.

 

“Clara…..”

I heard my name being called out softly…………

 

I looked in the direction of the voice. It was my mom.

 

Then I heard violent & emotional screams as the body was lowered into the grave……..

“Clara…. dear…. Why did you leave us?

Why…… oh God…..don’t be so cruel…

Give her back…….please……”

 

Yes, you heard her right. It’s my Funeral………..

Weirdly amazing... Is what it is... Being dressed in black does not ever seem to help much in the cold... BUT IT SHOULD...! Haha, Depressingly, (in a good way), penned...

[Zephyr]

Its a pleasure reading your reviews...
Glad you liked and happy to read the review😄

[SilenteWrite]

Haha, happy as well...!

Hi Naat, I didn't think it was horror, but it was an amazing write, it had a profound transcending feeling of questioning that ever ending mystery of death.... I loved the RIP part!!

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much, Hebe...
Glad you enjoyed, dear...:)

[Abhishek Asthana]

Well thought out and masterfully constructed but I would call it more metaphysical than horror but I enjoyed it. Thanks for the read request :~) Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much...
And yes, it isn't actually the scary type...:)
I actually didn't know what to term it but now have an answer:)
Glad you enjoyed!

[Rassoul]

Well, it's not really "horror" it's just sad in it's own way but I really like it, Naat.
Keep writing!

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much, Rassoul!
I agree it isn't really the horror type...:)
Glad you enjoyed!

[wordman]

sounded like your on a great run with horror stories,just bring on part two now

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much, wordman...
Glad you enjoyed and will definitely think about part two:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

How can a dead body wrap its arms around itself? That's one part which I felt was out of place. Another one being the long ellipsis you put in places.
But otherwise I liked the plot twist. Nice attempt at horror.

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much, Yumna..
A dead body can't wrap its arms around itself. But I think a spirit/Ghost can...(just imagination:))
hope you enjoyed...:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hmm well, okay if that's how you imagined...
Lol really enjoying a funeral piece? I liked how you pieced it, the scenario etc if that's what you mean but 'enjoying' is something else 😛😉

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh and you're welcome, Naat :)

[Zephyr]

Glad to know:)

[Rassoul]

Well, you didn't know it was a dead body at first, even herself didn't know.

[Mr.Writer]

Woah! Great job on this poem and I loved the twist! Keep it up :)

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much....
Am happy you liked...:)

[Priyanshi]

Reading the first part of the story, I felt that a funeral was about someone else, but got a bit shock to know that it was yours. ....wonderfully written.
I love to read very short stories.

[Zephyr]

Thank you so much, Priyanshi...
Glad to know the twist worked....:)

[Priyanshi]

You're welcome,dear friend.
