Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

I lifted my hand and shut my alarm clock, the annoying beeping stopped. I yawned and stood up, not bothering to fix my blanket, which was hanging off my small bed. I walked over to the bathroom and turned on the shower, when it was hot enough I stepped in. I didn't bother to clean myself up, I couldn't, I could barely do anything...

Because two weeks ago my wife died, we were in a car accident, riding down a busy highway, when the car in front of us cut us off in an attempt to get wherever it was the driver was going. Our car hit their car and, their car swerved and we slammed into it's side. I don't know how it happened exactly.

But she's gone.

The funeral was yesterday. I couldn't bare to go, so I didn't.

I realized I was done with the shower and turned it off, I got dressed and walked downstairs to my living room. I turned on the television, news twelve was the first thing that came up.

"So Denise what else is going on in Afghanistan?" the male reporter, Robert said.

"Well it seems we're getting some bizarre reports from over there, you ready?" Denise asked.

Robert nodded, flashing a smile.

"Well, yesterday afternoon the studio received a video tape from an anonymous source that showed a firefight happening, but as Taliban soldiers were killed, something extremely bizarre happened" Denise explained.

"And what was that?" Robert asked.

"Well We'll show you all the tape so you could see it for yourselves, be aware that this video tape includes graphic violence, children should not be in the area" Denise said.

I yawned, not that interested, too busy, thinking about my wife.

Elizabeth

The video started, it seemed to have been taken by a camera attached to a soldiers head, it seemed American soldiers were fighting off a group of Middle-Eastern people in a small sandy town the video shot one of the Taliban soldiers in the chest a few times, killing him. But a few moments later, something truly bizarre happened.

The dead Taliban soldier, lifted itself up from the ground, and rose to it's feet. It turned around and looked at the soldier that was taking the video, you could see the bloody wounds on the soldiers chest from where he had been shot.

"What the hell?' the soldier taking the video asked, he looked to his allies, they were staring at the "dead" soldier aswell. Then the "dead" soldier started walking fast towards the soldier taking the video. A few shots were fired and then the video ended. I stared at the television screen. One word immediately came to my mind.

Hoax

The show switched back to Robert and Denise, who began talking about the video. I shook my head and turned the television off. I had more important things to think about, like what exactly I was going to do today.

Sit and mourn. The same thing I've been doing for the past two weeks. Then the phone rang. I looked towards it. I got up and picked it up.

"Hello?"
