Bodies Quote by Lynn
“People started falling from the sky by the close of the decade. They were never clothed, always naked, always a petrifying grin on their face. It had been just a few at first, but then hundreds and thousands would fall at a time, destroying cars, homes, blocking off highways. Strange discovers were made upon research; they were human, but lacked any blood, intestines, even a heart. No one could explain the hideous grin they had, or even where they came from. It was a woman in Costa Rica who made the latest and most disgusting discovery. She recognized one of the fallen bodies as a long dead relative, one who died back when she was a teenager. the more identification were made. My mother was killed when a body landed on her car, crushing her. The next week, the news reported on a body that had gotten lodged in an airplane windshield. I saw my mother's grinning face, the happiest I had ever seen her. They say when hell is full; the dead shall walk the earth. What about heaven?”
