By her side, they found it. As sunrise rose they saw. Dilated eyes, cold lips,breathless. Frantic but with fear, fingertips reach for the beckoning lid. A gift? What lies inside? Oh wait, a letter beside the body. A letter with answers? or more questions. It simply read, “It’s sad that I had to slice it up a bit to make it fit”. Heart-shaped box? What a joke…
