Chapter 4 - Ethan Rips The Silver Duct Tape From Mother
Ignoring the cold steel barrel aimed inches from his face, Ethan jammed his fingers into the jagged wooden gap.
He peered into the pitch-black interior of the casket and locked eyes with the terrified, weeping face of his mother.
Claire Parker’s eyes were wide with sheer agony, her chest heaving violently as she tried to suck in fresh air.
Thick silver duct tape was wrapped tightly across her mouth, sealing her lips and cutting off any chance of crying out.
“Mom, I’ve got you! I’m right here!” Ethan sobbed, digging his small fingers beneath the edge of the industrial adhesive.
With a fierce, desperate yank, Ethan tore the silver tape away from her face, revealing bruised, bleeding skin.

“Ethan... my sweet boy...” she whispered hoarsely, her voice breaking as tears carved clean paths through the dust on her cheeks.
