Sigmund said nothing, just carried on staring at the pale thing in the sandbox, poking it with the stick he'd stolen from the tree only an hour ago, when everything had been normal. "I don't think it's anything," said Jared. "I mean, it doesn't look like anything. Not really." "Well, it has to be something," said Lucy. "It can't be nothing. Can it?" "Whatever it is," began Sigmund, still staring, still poking, "I think it's bleeding." “Well, quit poking it, Sigmund! That isn’t going to do any good. Do you think maybe we should dig it out?” Lucy suggested. Jared rolled his eyed at her. “Of course we should, we can’t just leave it here; I’m too invested in finding out what this is.” Sigmund started picking away at the grains of bleached white sand with the stick, but then knelt down and began brushing it away with his palm. As his hand made contact with the object, he shivered. It was as cold as chilled glass. The other two teens soon joined in, brushing away patches of loose sand. “Whoa, is this what I think it is?” Lucy asked as she stared at what seemed to be a human toes sticking out of the sand. The group quickly stood up and jolted back away from the sandbox. Jared wiped his hands on his short and muttered aloud. “It’s a person. It’s a person!” A loud groan erupted from under the sand as it began to shift and fall off of the form as it moved from the position it had held. Lucy let out a shriek of pure terror as the form threw back its head, revealing the porcelain white skin and coal black eyes of the figure’s face. Jared pulled Lucy up closer to him and began to walk backwards. All three of the teenagers would have been running, but they were slightly paralyzed by the sight of the corpse reanimating. Sigmund dropped his stick and his body became limp, falling to the cold autumn ground. Lucy screamed in terror. “Sig!”
