If these walls could talk # 2: Morgue
To celebrate the spookiest month of the year describe a Morgue's perspective in such a way that we know all its history and all it has seen. Perhaps link it to your life, or maybe someone famous, or just make it up. Make us feel what it feels and tell us the stories it would tell if its walls could talk. The winner is decided by likes. All styles are welcome. Remember to tag me @ChrisSadhill in the comments and I will read and comment on every piece. Happy writing.

The Morgue

I am the Morgue, a place shrouded in an eerie silence. I am the final resting place for those who have taken their last breath, a witness to the nature of life. Within my cold walls, emotions cease to exist. All that remains is a solemn melancholy that hangs heavy in the air.

Countless souls have graced my presence, each with their own stories. Some have the marks of tragedy and violence. Some have the remnants of a life cut short. Others are a testament to the passage of time, having lived a long life. There are those who succumbed to illness, their final moments consumed by pain, and those whose lives were snuffed out in unforeseen accidents.

I have seen it all - the faces of the young and old, the rich and poor. I have welcomed victims of war and the victims of natural disasters. I have housed the famous and the nameless as well as the good and bad. I treat them all with the same impartiality.

I feel a connection to those who have passed through my doors. I am a silent confidant to those within my walls, aware of secrets that will never be spoken. I hold all of their stories within me. And as the days turn into years, my walls stand witness to the never ending cycle of life.
