The morgue was always quiet at this time of night. Doctors sometimes flittered in and out, but in the end all that was left to keep the mortuary technician company was the dead bodies that were wheeled in and out ceaselessly. The technician looked up as a nurse came into view, his glasses reflecting the bright hospital lights.
"Can I help you?" He asked quietly
The clock on the wall ticked away,
"I have another patient for you" The robust nurse replied sadly " Please help me with the door"
The technician bolted from his seat and held the blue double-doors open, noting with indifference the dead body on the hospital bed.
"If you will come through to the diagnostic room please" He said, guiding the wheels " I assume you are able to tell me about the death?"
"Yes, of course" The nurse nodded "Dr. Allen would come, but he had to perform emergency surgery in ICU"
They entered the clinical coldness of diagnostics and parked the bed in the middle of the room.
"Lets see what we have here then" He mused, pulling an equipment table with glittering knives to his side.
The technician pulled the shroud off carefully, revealing the pallor of a young girl, whose black eyelashes lay still against her pale, transparent cheeks.
The nurse looked away awkwardly, and pulled a thick file from her apron pocket.
"She died about an hour ago, resuscitation was performed, but as you can see, we did not succeed"
"Was she on a ward? Or did she come through A+E? " The technician asked, putting on white rubber gloves, and snapping them on his skin.
"She was on Intensive care. Had been for at least 2 weeks"
The girls naked, pale body lay rigidly on the bed.
"What did she die of?"
"Poisoning, organ failure, cardiac arrest"
The technician rummaged through the file and flicked through a toxicology report, and for a moment had a stunned look on his face.
" Im surprised she held on for so long, two weeks? With this amount of toxin?" He placed it on the brown desk in the corner " Not many people can live so long after such a severe…attempt."
As the technician began to scribble on a toe tag, he asked the nurse for the patients details and eventually tied the offending label on the girls foot. Then pulled the shroud back over what had been a beautiful face
The two people left the room, talking about what details were to be finalised, leaving the body in the harsh light of the hospital. The toe tag quivered in the air announcing with cold abruptness:
"Sofia Ylari. Aged 17, Cause of Death: Suicide by poisoning"
In the stillness of the morgue, an urban legend had begun, and in the shadows, a creature of blood stood and wept quietly for the loss of its bride.
