SAM

CHAPTER 7

“Sam?” the familiar voice rang in my ears, “Are you alive? You’ve been dead for an hour and a half you know”

I could feel the warmth of Anne’s body against my own. I opened my eyes. It took a couple of uncomfortable seconds to get accustomed to the pain that seeped through my whole body.

“I’m dead” I heard my hoarse voice respond. My throat hurt.

“hm… mmm…” I could feel the solemnness in her response, she was in deep thought. “You’re back?”

“Yeah”

For the first time, my mind felt clear. I remembered. I was covered in my own blood from my nosebleed but I was not frightened. No, I was elated. I looked at Anne from the corner of my eye.

“You fell in love again sir” she had a smile on her face.

“I need to thank the inspector for that, don’t I?” I propped myself against the side of the bed.

Anne positioned herself beside me, “Its time isn’t it”

“Yes”
