The Tombstone (Part 2)

And suddenly Becky felt stalked. But soon she realised that it was shadow of the trees and ‘nothing’ and ‘nobody’ else.

As soon as she was assured of nobody around, she started digging the grave with the plough that she had got with the flowers.

Once she reached a considerable underground, she stopped and sat down to rest, panting and puffing her lungs away.

Becky looked around. A decaying coffin and a few scattered bones were the only remnants around, apart from one or two graves that lay bare.

Ignoring everything she got back to work again with certain urgency in her movements with the plough.

She finally reached the coffin, looking at it with a high level of accomplishment and achievement.

She looked into Joseph’s hollow eye sockets and stooping a little picked up the round shard of bone. The skull was massive. She put the bones of the complete skeleton in the plastic bag and started to get back home with her shadow, that had witnessed her every act.

She reached her home and started to sew the bones by way of tight threading them, so that they formed a carcass that looked real.

She hanged it right in front of the full length mirror where the bunny rabbit stared at it in awe

“Finally my own personal skeleton is ready. The science lab just has one for all the students and that also they don’t allow us to touch.”
