She didn't know what to feel anymore but one thing was certain in her heart, there was something fishy in the air. Everyone had weird gazes, and worried faces and some had sadness in them. Furthermore, there was one person she didn't see for a long time, Elijah wasn't anywhere. She tried looking for him these past three days but every time she asked, students thought she was turning crazy. She was his first and only girlfriend; they thought she was in love with him and turned crazy. Death always brought some more misery than relief.
"Oy, look! She is at it again, asking for him when she clearly knows he isn't anywhere now. I heard someone talking about it this morning."
Death was taboo. No one would talk about death because it was ominous. They believed it would attract more death.
