Undead Hearts

The phone rang and Ramoos answered, it was Glick, the medical examiner at the morgue. "It's the hearts..." and his voice just trailed off. "Can you come here?". Ramoos answered yes and took off suspecting some clue to be examined.

It was just getting dark as he arrived at the morgue. He walked in and met with the medical examiner. He thought the examiner looked strangely stiff, perhaps shaken. "What is it?" asked Ramoos. "Their not dead." "Huh, what the hell do you mean?" "Well, they're not showing any movement, but the cells...still seem to be active." "How the hell could that be?" "We don't know, its a mystery. A god damned mystery".

"What's your evidence?" "Its over here." Ramoos followed the examiner to the fridge. He opened it and pulled out a box of slides. The box was labelled with the case number and date and some odd looking notes. He thought he saw the word "undead". "What the hell is that on there?!" exclaimed Ramoos.

Silent the examiner placed one of the slides under one of the microscopes and peered in the eye sights. He slowly moved around the slide and the focus. Then he just stared, silently. After several seconds of this, he pulled up. "Take a look..." said the examiner.

Ramoos bent down and looked in the eyepiece. For a moment he thought he was imagining this. The cells appeared to be moving. He stood up and looked at the examiner with a question mark on his face.

"Its one of the adults."
