Post Mortem Novel Novels & Stories

After a long pause, he said softly, "Yes. He always took my things. He said we were poor and that I didn't have a dad." My heart ached. I pulled him into my arms. "If anyone ever says stuff like that again, tell me. I'll deal with them, okay?" He nodded and looked up at me. "Mom, Liam is dead. Will he turn into a ghost and come for me?" I froze. "Why would you think that?" "He told me before. He said if he died, he'd come back as a ghost to take me with him." A surge of anger rushed through me.

Cause of Death: Severe traumatic brain injury with multiple organ rupture and hemorrhage caused by a car accident. "External Characteristics: The deceased was run over and dragged by a heavy vehicle, and his facial features are completely disfigured and unrecognizable. The left ribcage collapsed, with multiple rib fractures and severed ribs piercing the lungs and heart. Both lower limbs suffered comminuted fractures, with exposed rib ends and avulsed skin…" I floated mid-air, reading the report and suddenly feeling the excruciating pain of that night that seemed to resurface deep within my soul. The day I died was precisely a week after Sally's death.

“Ma’am, we can show you a photo first, so you can confirm whether it’s your daughter. It’s just… when we found her, she had been dead for three days, and the body had started to decompose. You should prepare yourself.” With that, he pulled out a photo from the scene and handed it to her. In the picture, a small, blood-soaked body—mine—was curled up on the bed in an unnatural position. My colorless lips and my sickly, bluish-purple skin told her one thing: I was dead. Mom’s eyes widened. At last, she could no longer lie to herself and burst into tears. “How could this happen? How could this be? She was fine just a few days ago. How could she be dead? Daisy, you cursed child, you’re just like

I died on my birthday, right as the candle melted into a pool of wax. I thought death would end everything, but it didn't. Somehow, I became an invisible and intangible wisp of a ghost drifting through the world. I always found myself uncontrollably drifting back to my ex-girlfriend, Audrey Hades. I watched her pull a failing company back from the brink of bankruptcy and build it all the way to a successful IPO. She transformed from a workplace novice to a rising star of the business world.

… One day, I suddenly saw the news on the television. "The Jones family was murdered. None of the family members lived." My heart skipped a beat. I then saw a photo of my family on the screen. "It is reported that the murder was committed by Susan Jones, the wife of the old director of Jones Group..." None of them survived. Charles, Derek, Samantha, Jenson, and Susan—all of them died. "Mrs. Jones left a suicide note, claiming that this was done for her daughter Celine..." I could no longer process the words I heard after that.

I didn’t answer his question because I don’t know how to tell him about the dead body under my bed. “I want to show you something,” I said when I heard the news about the man who got murdered inside his house. His throat was cut. There is no forced entry and nobody saw the crime because it happened in the middle of the night where everyone was sleeping and the police are still looking for the suspect and it is still under investigation. I changed my mind to show him the dead body because I got scared that he might tell to the police. “Are you alright? He asked me while I was listening to the news. I looked at him and answered…

She was not dead. When I saw her crimson eyes, I smelled a familiar scent on her. The scent of blood. My blood. “Elena, thank you. For exchanging your blood with mine. Your blood turned me into a vampire.” Sylvia leaned against Kael’s chest, smiling sweetly. I recalled all the years after our marriage. Every time I lay down in my coffin to sleep, my body always felt unbearably heavy. The cold disgust in Kael’s eyes confirmed my suspicion.

That wasn't a smart thing to do. As Camilo's mate, Hallie couldn't stay in the pack if he was kicked out. Sure enough, after being kicked out, she was so scared about her future that she killed herself. From that day on, no one ever questioned if Alex was good enough to be the Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack. I was excited for Alex to come home, and the moment he walked in, I pulled him down to sit beside me. "Darling, I have something wonderful to tell you."
