The rhythm was rather upbeat, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding pale, shaky, grinning and clawing skeletons.
After a few seconds under the surprised gaze of everyone, the thin skeleton seemed to rejoice upon hearing the music.
At first, it was just nodding its pale skull as if trying to find the beat. Soon, it began to sway more widely, even dancing to the unfamiliar music, its body all loose and wobbly.
It was like dancing the final song to a playful accompaniment after a hundred years of death.
Although the scene of the skeleton dancing was nothing close to graceful – in fact, it was a strange mix of comedy and horror – at that moment everyone seemed to see in it a middle-aged woman with striking charm dancing elegantly to the music.
It was fully immersed in it.
The more it danced, the more joyous it became.
It was as if it had forgotten its sorrowful second death, allowing it, whose rest had been disturbed, to return to that warm eternal silence.
