Sleeping next to dead body....

There was new admission in our orphanage, his name was Elvin Richard. He was around 14 year's old.

I was watching him from the corner of the window. His aunty put him in the orphanage. I was trying to listen to their conversation. He lost his parent a month ago and his aunty is not stable to afford his needs and education.

Our warden took him to show the orphanage. As he stepped out of his office, he saw me and introduce me to him. He seems to be a quite guy. I showed him the whole orphange and his bed. He got second last bed in the rows.

He put his luggage on the bed and kept looking out of the window. I can see grief in his eye's. I wanted to make him comfortable but i didn't disturb him. I was observing him. When we heard a bell rang. every body ran to the cafeteria. I offered him walk, he nodded his head and walked with me. We where having our dinner. When Its started raining heavily. He smiled, I was surprised to see him smiling. It seems like he loves rain.

Suddenly, the guy who was sick from the last few weeks. He started bleeding through his nose and eyes. His head slammed on the tabel and then he fell down. By the next minute he was dead. Our warden send us to our room and called ambulance but because of rainly weather line's wasn't working. So they decided to put his body on his bed for the night. I know That was a stupid idea but they had no other option. They put him on his bed and unfortunately the new boy Elvin's bed was next to him. He shivered a little when he saw dead body beside his bed. I wanted to share my bed with him. But we senior sleep in another room. Nobody else was ready to help him, afterall everyone was scared, I looked him he was continuesly staring at the dead body, he took his blanket over him and laid down. I thought he's ok with it, so I left from there

NEXT MORNING

At the cafeteria, I was waiting from him on the breakfast table. He didn't showed up. I ask his room mates about him. But none of them saw him since this morning. I ran towards warden office and informed him about Elvin. Worriedly he called the seniors and told them to look for him. We searched everywhere in the orphanage but couldn't find him. Me and one of my friends name Gorge, Looked for him outside the orphanage. I was screaming his name while running. After 25 min. I found him sitting behind a tree.

I hugged him, he looked very weak, he didn't slept the whole night. I and Gorge took him to the orphanage. Warden asked him "why did you ran?".

He replied, "last night I was trying to sleep. But i was scared of the death body. When suddenly i hear a voice, like someone walking behind me. I didn't looked back, I ran out of the room in the blink of an eye. I kept running when I heard footsteps running behind me. I look back it was that same death guy standing behind me. His eyes where bleeding and he was looking so scary. I screamed and fainted, when I got up. I found my self near a tree".

After listening to him, we all thought he's in grief and he was scared of the death body. He was just imagining things. When we heard a voice of a "prayers " It was a priest who came for an funeral of a death boy.

I and my friends with warden walked to the room where his  body was kept and removed the blanket from him. What we saw sent goosebumps all-over my body, my eye's where torn.

The body was laying upside-down and his legs where covered with the sticky mud and grass, his clothes where wet. Then I looked at Elvin, even he has that same kind of mud on his legs and clothes.

For a second, I was frozed. We all where looking at each other with shock. "Elvin wasn't lieing", said Gorge.
