Alle Kapitel von Doomed Child in a Coffin of Sins: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 9

The air was getting thinner and thinner.Andy Lawson's tiny body was pressed against mine, frigid. I struggled to lift my hand. My fingers barely touched the coffin lid before sliding back down in a powerless drop."Did you hear that?" a voice outside asked hesitantly.Another person immediately snapped, "Hey, cut it out! You're scaring me!"The man who had spoken first sounded terrified, his voice trembling. "I mean, this family's youngest son did just die an unjust death. The older son is supposedly cursed, the kind who brings bad luck wherever he goes."I heard his parents say it themselves. The older son was the one who caused his little brother's death. Doesn't that make him a vengeful spirit now? If I were his parents, I'd regret ever having the older son."Now, let's make sure the lid is sealed tight. Wouldn't want any stray cats or dogs to crawl inside."The hurried footsteps slowly faded away, leaving behind a silence as dead as a grave.I curled up inside the freezing

Time passed slowly. My consciousness began to fade.The air inside the coffin had become filthy and stale, filled with the smell of my own waste and the scent of death.I no longer pressed myself against the crack in the coffin, desperately chasing that tiny bit of hope, nor did I waste the little strength I had left to call out whoever walked by, begging for some attention.I simply lay there in silence, holding Andy's hand, because I knew I was going to die.When I was little, I once asked Mommy what death meant while watching TV. She gently stroked my hair and answered softly, "Dying means saying goodbye forever."I buried my face in her arms and mumbled like a spoiled child, "Then I never want to die. I don't want you to die either, Mommy."But now, it was time for me to go. After all, no one in this world welcomed me anymore—not Daddy, not Mommy, and not Grandma. If my death could make them all happy, I would do it.On the last day—the seventh day of the punishment—Andy was

I reached out and checked my own breathing through my nose. I could still feel a faint trace of breath, but it was so weak that it might disappear within a few more minutes.So, I wasn't completely dead yet. That was why my soul was still trapped inside this tiny coffin.Through the thick wooden lid, I could somehow see everything unfolding outside. It was as if I had activated a new skill.Mommy's face was cold as she beckoned two guys over to restrain Ms. Clark."Enough, Ms. Clark! You asked your questions, and you made your scene. Now, are you finally willing to accept that he's doing it to atone for his sins?"Ms. Clark refused to give up. She kept struggling. "Just open the coffin and check on him! He's afraid of the dark! There's no way he'd just stay in there without making a sound! Maybe something did happen to him!"Her protests finally got to Daddy, who turned to Mommy. "Maybe we should open it and check. It's almost time anyway."As he spoke, he reached out toward the

Everyone froze when they heard Mommy's question. They looked around, only to realize that the blind priest had long vanished without a trace.Ms. Clark slowly came forward, grief and anger written on her face. "Priest? That so-called priest took off the moment you opened the coffin."The police arrived after receiving the report and quickly separated the crowd, putting up a cordon. The forensic doctor carefully lifted my body and placed me gently on a clean cloth laid out nearby.She put on her gloves, took a deep breath, and began examining my body.After a thorough examination, her hands abruptly stopped. Under the sunlight, her bent figure trembled ever so slightly. She forced herself to stay professional, swallowing back a sob."The deceased is approximately ten years old. The cause of death was suffocation. The time of death…"She paused, then slowly turned to look at everyone. Her masked face hid her expression, but her eyes screamed sorrow. "About 30 minutes ago."Her wor

The blind priest was caught two days later.He was never a priest to begin with. More than a decade ago, he had gone around a neighboring town pretending to tell fortunes and scamming people for money.He had ruined families because of his lies, and someone eventually got revenge on him and blinded one of his eyes. That blind eye wasn't because he had revealed some forbidden secret. It was a mark of shame.During interrogation, he refused to show any remorse. Instead, he held his chin high, acting like he didn't care about anything."Yes, I'm a fraud! Ten years ago, his family was holding a party. It was packed with people, and everyone was cheering. I thought maybe they'd be nice enough to offer me some food, but they fucking gave me leftover bread crumbs!"They treated me like I was some beggar they wanted to get rid of. Well, who has the last laugh now?"He spat on the ground. "I heard them teasing that baby, calling him their precious son, the apple of their eye, and whatnot.
