Before you Go 9
Larissa didn’t want to start her shift this way. She knew it was going to be a super long night. An hour or so later, as she had five rooms going at the same time as she was supervising the students and the other pathologist in all they were doing to do this as fast as they could to clear the hallways. She went back to the conference room and was surprised to find them still in the room with George, who was going over the release to the funeral home and everything they would need to do.
She smiled as she walked in and nodded to George. Gabe walked up in the back of her, “Thank you for giving her the time.”
“You all need it.” She said as she looked up at him. “Do you need me to call someone?”
“No. My brothers are on their way. I called them already. They are scattered all over the

The two sat mostly in silence as they drank their coffee, and every once in a while, Larissa would glance out of the window toward the school and saw the smoke rising above the trees. She felt the plummet in her chest as she didn’t want to think about it anymore. She looked at him, who was now looking at his cell phone waiting for something to arrive, and somehow Larissa knew it would never come in.“I guess I have my answer,” Gabe said as she looked up to Larissa from staring at his screen.“With? “Larissa asked.“She is definitely cheating on me,” Gabe said. “I guess that shouldn’t surprise me. I was just the latest victim in her long line.”“Maybe something else happened. Like someone she knew was also in the accident. Maybe she has to deal with that.” Larissa countered. Thoug

Larissa looked at him as she stopped the car. She really just wanted to drop him off and go home as she tried not to think of how this man affected her heart beating a little too fast. He was the only one that made her brain go blank for a moment when she first glanced at him. Her whole way of being was by herself though she never thought of anything different as well. She had her way of peeling the skin off people when she looked at them. This one made her forget how, though.She knew he was trouble for her. He looked at her with his piercing blue eyes. They were hypnotizing to her. She had to clear out her throat. He blinked his eyes. “Come inside?” his voice seemed to echo throughout the car.“I don’t think that is a good idea.” She said softly. “It has been a night.”“Please.” He asked as he touched

“Then why?” she asked as he got out of the car. She was now very confused and didn’t understand why he would want her there at all, let alone after saying that he didn’t want to sleep with her. This was unlike anything that she had ever heard of since things like this didn’t happen to her regardless.“Larissa, I think you need to understand a few things.” He said as he took her hand after opening the car door. “Sometimes, it is the smallest things that will lead to everything.”“Don’t talk in riddles.” She said as she shook her head, knowing that he was going to continue to confuse her if he did. She didn’t like them. Her brain had always had a problem with them as she would try and figure them out and lose out on time for other things.“Come on.” He said as he gently pulled on her arm. She hit the

The time flew by, and even though the two of them spent the night on the couch, they both woke up to the alarm going off, knowing that somewhere a few hours ago, they both nodded off. Larissa looked at him as he blinked his eyes open. She was leaned up against him. She was still in her scrubs.“Wonderful.” She said as she looked at herself and then the time.“Well, you are a doctor. Wearing scrubs is fine, I would assume.” He said softly as he tucked a lock behind her ear. “I guess I should get ready, though. Do you want to ride in together?”“I should probably go in on my own. Even though I am only there for a month, I really don’t want to give anyone any things to say.” Larissa said as she looked at him.“Meaning?” he asked as his eyes tried to read her.“My brother work

“I am not the one who needs to grieve.” She said as she looked up to him, “You are.”“I think you have to as well.” He said as he pulled her close. She shook her head. “I think today got a little more difficult.”“For who?” she asked.“Everyone.” He said as he sighed. “Don’t worry about me, though. It will hit me later.”“Gabe.” She said. “Don’t fight it.”“Sweetheart, don’t worry about me.” He said again. When the door opened, and they moved apart quickly.“Where is Judy?” Mr. Vincent asked though he looked like he hadn’t slept either though he was not in the room when they walked in.“John was involved in the car accident last night.” Larissa said, “She wen

The day pressed on. Gabe left after the first class, but she could still feel his presence around her. It was the weirdest feeling. She went back to the office and stood outside the door after three periods. Larissa was only there to get coffee when she heard the voices coming from inside the office. She stopped and looked up. No one else was around.“This is a huge problem.” Mr. Vincent said as he sighed. He had always been the most level-headed person in the department. So to hear him like this was a surprise.“None of us can do the rest. That was always Judy’s job.” Mr. Mig, one of the lower grade science teachers, stated.“What are we going to do?” Someone else asked.Larissa knew it had to do with the incinerator and the fact they all looked so tired. Maybe she should offer again to clean it because that was the thing they must be talking about. It wouldn’t b

The darkness of the room was all around her. The smell was the same as she smelt last night but heavier. She got the mitt and opened the door, and looked in to see the coals on the bottom still glowing red. She knew she could not really go into the unit until they were out completely. She looked around in it and then saw the one thing she was hoping she wouldn’t. A bone. A long human bone. She stood there and looked into the unit some more.The people missing were now found. She had located them. Her brother and his mistress, who had been Gabe’s girlfriend. She stood there looking at the open unit and began to wonder what the hell she was supposed to do. All the things she had thought were true. All the urban legends were true as well. She was lost in her own mind.“They were a problem.” Larissa turned and heard the voice coming from the darkest part of the room. She then saw her favorite teacher take

“Are you going to tell him?” Judy asked.“No,” Larissa said as she looked at the older woman. This was someone she had admired for most of her life, and now she had just found out that she was a murderer. That she had erased people that she had deemed bad and that the people she had based her life on being like were all exactly the same. Larissa was torn. She didn’t want to be here right now. She could barely allow herself to think. “The less he knows, the better.”“You think he would tell?” Judy asked. There was something in the question that just didn’t seem right to Larissa. She really didn’t have to think about the answer, even for someone she barely knew. However, he would do the right thing no matter the cost. Larissa already knew that.“Anyone norma
