Echoes of Silence

Submitted to Contest #295

The mourning room hummed with a strange electricity that only I could feel. There I was, or rather, my spirit was—hovering just above the polished mahogany casket that supposedly contained my earthly remains. The irony was not lost on me: finally, everyone was talking, and I was finally listening. My sister Margaret, always the dramatic one, dabbed her eyes with a lace handkerchief.

I parked the car in the garage as usual, stepped out of the car with bag in hand, putting it down next to the door, a seamless gesture that is done automatically, daily, so many times before. I turn around and walk up the driveway towards the mailbox, waving at a neighbor in a passing car. Should I have looked up at the sky to see the approaching sunset?
