Key 13: And Other Stories by Rose Titus
Excerpt —
It wasn’t dark or cold, the way you would expect a morgue to be. It was well lit, clean, and the temperature was rather comfortable, no different from the atmosphere in the rest of the building. There were several drawers, of course, which were there to contain the departed. Doris began pulling them out, one after the other, but they were empty.
“Dorrie, will yah cut it out? It’s disrespectful.”
She laughed, “There ain’t nobody in…whoa!”
The last drawer she pulled out contained a body. We did not see the entire body, just two large, cold dead feet.
