Alex Brightman The Whole "being Dead" Thing Novels & Stories

"I didn’t say she was dead—I said she was declared dead. In her current condition, death would be a mercy. But I won’t let that happen. Uncle, I’m sharing this with you because I want you to understand what’s going to happen from now on and why I’ve stepped into your lives now." Alden’s voice turned calm, almost calculating. "I don’t need to work at Palmer Group, but I want to. My father never worked here, but he admired you. He always spoke about how you managed everything, how effortlessly you closed deals. According to my mother, he admired you more than you could ever imagine," Alden said, his eyes shining with emotion. "What are you going to do with Alexia?" Maximus asked hesitantly. "I

“It’s you again.” “It's me again.” I said, nodding. “You look—” “What inspired this…bold look tonight?” The other guy interrupted. I leaned forward, twirling the gum around my finger before popping it back in. “Oh, you know. I communicate with the dead sometimes. The darkness just speaks to me. It’s very… freeing.” I batted my heavy lashes at Tyler. “Don’t you think it’s sexy?” The other teammate coughed into his fist, barely holding it together. “Interesting. Very… unique choice for a gala.”

Alex said “No! Don’t do that. This is the only way I can know that she is alive and it is the only way I can find her. Don’t break the bond we have!” Damian said pleadingly His skin started to grow grey gradually. He could feel his nerves deaden with every passing second. He looked at his hands and his fingers were completely dead. “It is Anna, she is temporarily dead” Alex said Damian noticed that the pain of the burning knife in his chest had stopped. He got up, still trying to catch his breath as the effect of his dead partner started to wear off. He got up and tears filled his eyes. He tried to talk but his voice had suddenly disappeared.

Zayn laid hold of his shirt and snared, "Who the fvck are you all?" He laughed and sniffed with blood running out of his nose, "We are the revolution" He slowly let go of the body to the ground and the man was gone. He was dead. Zayn turned and his eyes met with that of Allegra whose fist was tightened. She said to him, "Another dead end, these guys keep dying like it's nothing" "It sounds strange but they die after saying, Hail, Alpha Ajax. Like an activator for the death or something"

After she killed us, Keyla stuffed our bodies into dirt-crusted sacks and tossed us in a sewage ditch. Rain took care of the evidence. If some random scavenger hadn't caught a whiff, we might've stayed lost forever. I wanted to see Edmond's reaction. He pulled on his lab coat and gave a quiet, solemn nod to the corpses. It was the first time I watched him work. First time I saw how he could talk to a corpse for hours but couldn't even say "I'm tired" to me. Like I was some kind of poison that made him shut down.

Eric Chan choked up several times, clenched his fists and spoke with difficulty: "He's gone ......" Tears fought to come out first, Emma Rosy grunted and hissed, "Nonsense! You liars, Alex Brown can't be dead! Think I'm going to believe you just because you're holding an urn? He doesn't want to see me, he doesn't want to be with me anymore, that's why he put on this show with you guys, right?" No matter how much she argued, Tina Everard always stood still and watched her quietly. When she was tired of making a scene, only then did she speak with an expressionless face, "People can't come back from the dead, so I'm sorry."

A thing may have a name, but more often than not, peeling back the political correctness to reveal the nasty honesty beneath was healthier. So this was death row. If the men and women within it avoided their intervention, well, then they would become zombies. Or bone eaters. Or smilers. And they, the five, were Crowners. That sounded a lot healthier than ‘End of Life Policy Counselors’, which was what it said on their tax returns.

I gave her my sinister smile. “Okay, if you are so eager to die in our hands,” I said and looked at Beatrix who was standing beside me now in her human form. “I am the death that people never wish to have, it's the feeling people feel in hell after death. Your death bell has been rung and it's brought you here. Because your death is written here in my hand." Beatrix said in a calm tone with her signature smile. She's sweet as honey. But over sweetness seems like bitterness. And she's the one.

Small stones embedded themselves into my flesh and, mixed with my tears, caused excruciating pain—like salt being rubbed into my wounds. I writhed on the ground, howling in agony like a mad dog on the verge of death, while they laughed and mocked me. “An estate worth millions, and she thought she could take it from us. Let’s see if she lives long enough to spend a dime.” “Jenn, she’s not moving anymore. Do you think we went too far? What if this gets messy?” I felt a flicker of hope—maybe Marcus still had a shred of conscience left.

Elder Gaius questioned, his voice rising with alarm. James leaned forward, his gaze steady. “The information I’m about to share may shock you, so brace yourselves.” “James, stop with the theatrics. Just tell us,” Elder Demas snapped, irritation breaking through his unease. “I’m sorry to inform you, but our Alpha… Grayson… is dead,” James announced, his voice heavy with false sorrow.
