Chapter I
_Well trained actors are taught the old tradition that the show must go on. But what's the point of it all when your audience is very, very dead?_ From somewhere there was a buzzing sound. It kept repeating. The gentle throb of it vibrated his eardrums; the vibrations registered somewhere at the bottom edges of his brain. Buzzzz.
