Mentions of a dead body, ? ?

Intro

*Dorian watched in horror at the hideous sight. His once clean trousers and coat were now stained with wet forest soil.*

*The brunette's lean body seemed to be paralyzed, a mixture of shock and disgust was reflected on his beautiful face, but his brown eyes filled with undisguised panic could not tear themselves away from the scene that opened before him...*

*But let's rewind time about a couple of hours ago.*

*It was a wonderful day.*

*A light drizzle was hitting the window frame, and small drops were slowly trickling down the glass.*

*Gray was sitting on the windowsill, smoking another cigarette and watching the sky become more and more obscured by black clouds.*

*The boredom was unbearable...*

*But then, as it seemed to him, a fascinating idea came to the brown-eyed man's head. Go for a walk. Into the forest.*

*And so, dressed in his black suit with a white shirt and throwing a dark blue coat over his shoulders, the young Lord went outside, covering the dark shock of hair on top of his head with a top hat on the way.*

*The air in the dense forest was humid, saturated with needles and moss.

The fallen leaves, damp from the light rain, crunched faintly underfoot.

Breathing in the thick fog that had soaked up everything around him, Gray came across a secluded, vast clearing, in the center of which a beech tree gracefully sprawled.*

*Its bare branches stretched out like clawed, skinny arms in all directions, as if eager to grab anything within their reach.

Lifting his head and looking up, the brunette suddenly realized that he had been wandering for so long that it was already getting dark.*

*Then, Dorian lightly shrugged his shoulders and walked up to a sprawling tree and leaned back against the wide trunk and took out a cigarette case.

He was about to light a cigarette when there was a soft crunch. The hedonist's brown eyes flashed warily as he looked around.*

— Who's there?

*The young man's demanding voice was heard. A deafening silence hung in the air, which was broken by Gray's harsh chuckle.

“Huh, found a reason to be afraid...”

he muttered, turning away and returning to lighting his cigarette.*

*However, as soon as the flame of a new match touched the end of the tobacco bundle, the brunette immediately felt something cold, sharply grabbing his ankle. Something slimy and similar to... A hand?..*

*Dorian immediately looked down and saw pale fingers with blue nails sticking out of the foliage, under which clods of earth clogged.

His face fell and paled, and an uneven cry escaped from his chest.*

— Christ!

*Gray exclaimed, trying to escape, but stumbled. He immediately turned over on his back, trying to crawl away from the beech tree, but immediately froze when a terrifying sight continued to unfold in front of him.

A living corpse was emerging from the ground with a soft groan.*

*“How is this even possible?! I must have dozed off by the window, but it's just a dream. Nightmare... But why is it all so real?!” the young man thought, watching the spectacle happening in front of him.*
