Story

I thought It was a Sunday morning because bells were ringing all the time with very chaotic and random order. Something was out of wrong, because the birds were singing not like before. The window was open, because I felt by my nostrils that fresh air was flowing from outside giving some morning freshness. I heard too, coming from outside the exuberant mood of the street.
In one moment I observed that I’m already awake and that all I could here was not a dream, but a real situation. I woke up and I couldn’t believe that I’m in other place. I thought, maybe at yesterday’s party, I drank too much and I don’t remember what was going on, I smiled and go dressed
I went outside, the air was dry and hot, the ground was burned by sun, the grass had yellow and in some parts bright green color . I observed that I had only some large jacket and that clothes were not mine. I returned to my flat, It was on the second floor. I saw that there were some medicine apparatus next to my bed. I saw some photographs with me and my wife which was lying on the window sill.
I picked up the mobile phone which was also not mine and to my surprise was very modern and in one moment the phone fell down on the floor which was paneled with brown floorboards. I observed some photos with my wife and other guy. It was a huge shock for me: they were bounded in a white frame with some sculptured flowers on it. I guessed that It was from some wedding. I was starting to fear, what is going on here and that something terrible had happened to me.
I was sitting in a very comfortable armchair sipping a whisky and contemplating the sitting room. Suddenly the mobile phone which I dropped started ringing and vibrating on the floor. I pick it up and I observed the name “Anna” on the screen. I clicked the button of green phone.
‘Hello honey I want to say that I will be back late, because I have a lot of work in the office,’ the voice in the earpiece mumbled.
‘For goodness sake what is going on here Anna?’
‘James are you feeling ok?’ she asked in an aggrieved voice.
‘I’m Thomas are you joking or what?’
The connection broke. ’Hallo, Hallo can you hear me?’
Chapter 1
She was sitting in the car and she was on the way to Olsztyn where her husband have to be bur She was still thinking about what had happened yesterday. She was there when they turned off his respiration machine, It was a very heart wrenching experience for her, but she saw how his pulse had fallen and she knew that It would never return.
Although she knew that it was impossible that it could be Thomas, but she was still thinking that it was some sign from him, that he wanted to make contact with her, he wanted to get his revenge on her after death. She thought maybe God wants to…’No it is impossible, Anne, be realistic! There is no life after death!’ She had his facial expression in her mind, when he was in the coma, he was very calm and he looked kind of like somebody who knew what was going on around him.
She parked next to the church and she smartened herself up and she went in, there were only a few people already there. The Church was very old, she heard that in the time of the Napoleonic invasion, strategically very important, because from the spire you could see all of the city and it was the highest point in Olsztyn. In the church was much colder than outside. So she took out her jumper and put it on. She was sitting above all the people, on the terrace which had only some oak pews without backs to the seats. Behind her were placed some organ pipes, which she knew were not from time immemorial. On each side of the church was some very old stained glass which represented Christ in white apparel with a halo of sun. She knew that he knows about all our sins and he will reckon up with us with God . She was sure that she would go to hell after all, she regretted what she had done.
After a few minutes she saw a host of people coming in with the casket at the front of them; four people with white gloves and black suits were carrying the casket on their shoulders. They put the wooden coffin in front of the altar. When they put the casket down suddenly the rumor and noise of people sitting and talking stopped and silence fell. In the large range of pews there was only heard some whispers of people talking.
The Ceremony started and the minister came out in front of the altar with organ music playing in the background. After a couple of minutes he opened the Bible and he began to read. Some altar boys were standing around aimlessly.
It was a very long ceremony for her, and she hadn’t come to terms with the fact that her husband was dead and there was no chance that he would wake up. She lived for 4 years only with faith that he would wake up but now her life had no point. She knew that the only thing which she could do now was kill herself.
Suddenly the organ started to play and the noise of standing people was heard everywhere, she stood up and she went outside. The sun was pleasant for her after the cold and dark church. She got into her BMW with heated seats and she turned on the engine. The warming system in her new car was quite fast and she quickly felt relief.
She stopped her car opposite the cemetery and got out, she was following the people who were going in the same direction, with the same dark clothes and repentant souls. After the priest had spoken some words, she put the first spade-full of dirt in to the ground. She felt very weak, but she was still standing on her legs. She thought ’It is the end of my apprehension that the truth will out.’
She saw the first portions of sand fall on the wooden casket, with a empty sound. In one moment an idea crossed her head. Maybe he is still alive and I can repair my sins and I can help him.
‘Stop, Stop please open the casket I want check one last time that he is dead. ’
‘Dear lady it is impossible to open, God’s judgment is made.‘
In the throng of people she heard some whispers of ‘madwoman.’
‘Good man and she married him only for his fortune.’
‘Cocotte.’ ‘Bitch!’
She started: ‘I don’t care he is my husband and I have the right to do with him what I want’ she said with an absolutely determined voice.
Advisedly he said ’Ok guys to work Mrs Unfaithful wants see her husband. ’
The moment of silence filled up with the sound of creaking doors, to everybody’s consternation the men broke into an empty bone box. There was no body, only some cotton pillows which were filling up inside of the coffin. She fainted and a man behind her caught her .
The Priest’s face expression became pale and he exclaimed ’Johnny call the police!’.
