<\/figure>\n\n\n\nShe touched it again, more carefully, as if she was afraid of being mistaken. Under her fingers the skin felt soft, almost alive. For a moment, it even seemed as if the bride\u2019s chest moved slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s impossible\u2026\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She leaned down and pressed her ear against the bride\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the deep silence of the morgue, she heard a faint, barely noticeable sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She stepped back in shock and covered her mouth with her hand. If she was right, it meant the young woman could have been buried alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without hesitating, she rushed into the hallway and hurried toward the doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlease come quickly! She\u2019s alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor looked up from his papers with irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho is alive?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe bride. Her body is warm and I heard her heart beating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He sighed heavily, set down his pen, and slowly stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlright, let\u2019s go. But if this is just your imagination, you\u2019ll have to explain yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They walked into the room. The bride lay exactly as before \u2014 motionless, with her eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor put on gloves and began examining her. He checked her neck, looked at her pupils, and placed a stethoscope on her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendant watched his face anxiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell?\u201d she asked quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor straightened up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe body can remain warm for several hours. That\u2019s normal. You probably mistook a muscle twitch for a pulse. After certain poisonings, post-mortem reactions can occur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I heard her heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou must have imagined it. We checked her carefully when she arrived. There was no cardiac activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He removed his gloves and threw them into a bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t work yourself up. You\u2019ll get used to this job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendant remained alone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She looked back at the bride. The young woman still seemed too alive to be dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few minutes later, it looked as if the bride\u2019s fingers moved ever so slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendant quickly leaned closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you can hear me\u2026 give me a sign,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She stood there, trying to convince herself that the doctor was right \u2014 that everything she felt was just her imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But deep inside she felt something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night she didn\u2019t go home right away. She returned to the room once more and checked again. The skin remained warm far longer than it should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was when she made a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She secretly placed a small camera in the corner of the room, pointing it toward the table. She didn\u2019t tell anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next morning she arrived earlier than everyone else, locked herself in a small office, and started watching the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
