“Maybe the parties were to keep the dead entertained through an otherwise long and lonely night. He’d once heard his father say the dead could never be left alone in the house.”
NP Cunniffe, The Wake

“His face had grown dark, except for the reflection of the red fire in his eyes. The house, too, seemed to have filled with shadow, as if a storm was brewing outside. Jim’s eyes beamed red from the shadows. Why wasn’t he moving? Why wasn’t he helping his son?”
