When Cassie started to come through heard voices, music, and saw face hovering over her.
"Ung… what happened?"
"You passed out, are you alright?" The handsome corpse from earlier asked.
Her widened and she took double take on where she was… a bar full of dead people.
A waitress came and said "look who's awake, your husbands been kind worried but everybody knew you'd be okay."
Then an old skeleton in a tattered suit said, "well it looks like got a breather over here." A dead girl poked her, "she doesn't look dead and she's still soft." Cassie backed away in fear.
Now a very tall dead man stood on a stool raised a flagon and said "I propose a toast, to the newlyweds." Everyone started to cheer.
"Wait, newlyweds?" Now Cassie was really confused.
The corpse came up, "in the wood you recited your vows, and put the ring on me, that's typically what people do when they get hitched."
Her eyes widened, he thought they were married? Now this was whole new set of problems.
"Wait, we can't be married! "then some corpses turned "okay I'm not sure where I am or who any of you are so I'd like some answers."
"Well its bit of a long story" he said.
"Yes, what a story it is" a skeleton with a bowler hat now came out of the shadow. "A tragic tale of romance, passion, and a murder most foul." Then some more lights came on to reveal a stage where several other skeletons stood. "Hit it boys"
They started playing a song obviously practiced and played before.
"Hey give me a listen you corpses of cheer! Least those of you who still got an ear.
I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry of or jubiliciously handsome corpse Groom"
All the corpses of the bar sang "die, die, we all pass away but wear a frown because it's really okay. You might try to hide and you might try to pray. But we all end up the remains of the day."
"Well our boy was beauty known for miles around. One day a mysterious stranger came into town. She was plenty good looking, but down on her cash. Our poor little man, he fell hard and fast. But when his parents said no he just couldn't cope, so our lovers came up with a plan to elope."
"Die, die, we all pass away but wear a frown because it's really okay. You might try to hide and you might try to pray. But we all end up the remains of the day."
The skeleton with the bowler took Cassie and spun you around in a dance which almost made her fall. But two other skeleton caught her and wrapped their bony arms around her shoulders and griped her head.
"So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night. They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight. His father wedding suit fit like a glove, you don't need much when you're really in love. Except for a few things, or so I'm told, like the family jewels and a bag of gold. Then in the woods by an old oak tree, he ready to go but where was she?"
A corpse came behind her and said "and then" "He waited" Another one joined her "and then" "There in the shadow was it his woman?" Another corpse came "And then" "His heart beat so loud" Yet another one "and then"
"And then baby, everything went black. Now when he opened his eyes he was dead as dust. His jewels were missing and his heart was bust. So he made a vow lying under that tree that he'd wait for his true love to come set him free! Always waiting for someone to come take his hand." The skeleton put an arm on Cassie "Then out of the blue comes this groovy young woman" pushes he to the corpse, "who vows forever to be by his side. And that the story of our corpse GROOM!"
They spun in a circle, until her hands slipped and another tried to steady her but half his skeletal arm came off. When she regained her footing she shook if off, and dashed out the bar and into the land of the dead.
