Summary:
Being a coroner wasn’t exactly a dream job, but it paid bills, but with a snap of fingers (or rather the click of a trigger), everything had gotten a little more messed up than usual.
Prologue -
“...death took place at approximately six o’four in the evening.” You murmured lowly, jotting down the last of your notes on the case you were currently working on. A man was shot a point blank range in the back, paralyzing him until he bled out just a few hours ago.
You pulled a stained sheet over the mans body, bringing your shift to an end. You’d been working since four in the morning, and it was now nearly nine pm. More and more bodies have been getting discovered throughout town, and it just made your job a slight bit harder.
Days passed where upwards of five bodies would be brought in to be examined and you were getting exhausted. Officers at the precinct you worked at talked and talked about gang violence that was starting to get out of hand, a few even going as far as to assume that some kind of mob war had broken out. If they were right, this was only the beginning and you would most likely be swamped with work before you’d know it.
Physically, you were prepared, but mentally, looking at dead bodies all day had begun to take a toll on you. It wasn’t like you minded digging through a dead persons organs, but you’d put so much work into it, you didn’t have much time to sleep or even get a proper meal.
Most days you’d only drink coffee and stay cooped up in your office ready for the next case, and it was days like those you were afraid you’d be so caffeinated that you’d just vibrate out of existence.
An exasperated sigh left your lips as you gathered your personal belongings and left out the back door of your workplace. Thankfully, it wasn’t all too cold yet, even though winter was approaching fast, so you didn’t have to wear multiple layers of clothing to keep warm. You started the trek to your apartment which was just a few blocks from the precinct.
With all that’s been going on in the streets, you were slightly scared anytime you’d left the building. Over the past few weeks, you’ve noticed that crime was mostly targeted towards the more wealthy people, but nothing really seemed predictable when it came to these things. Just as detectives would find a lead, the lead would be proved innocent, they’d die, or something new would come up, adding onto the list of plausible suspects in a case.
It was a hectic process that the police staff had to go through, but they seemed to be doing their best to try and clean up the streets.
You decided to stay off the busy main roads, taking the back alleys to your apartment building. Everything had seemed calm, you didn’t spot any people around, the only noises you had heard were crickets chirping and a few small rustles of fallen leaves here and there. But it didn’t last too long.
A muffled cry sounded from an alley nearby, and even though you were few feet away from your home, you decided to check it out. Internally, you were slapping yourself for being dumb. You’d always seen people on TV check out strange noises dying soon after, but someone could be hurt, or there could be an animal that needed help. Either way, you still thought it was an extremely stupid idea.
Upon peering into the alley that was only slightly illuminated by a dim light, you seen three men. One of the men had fallen to the ground, looking up at the other two. The man on the ground seemed to be pleading to the other two, but you were unable to make out any words due to your distance from them and the quiet speaking. Suddenly, the taller of the standing men, pulled out a pistol, aiming right between the eyes of the man on the ground.
The man on the ground spoke slightly louder. “Please, GD, I can get you whatever you need. You don’t have to do this.” His eyes darted around, eventually landing on you. Despite being in such a troubling situation, he whispered something to the standing men, making them avert their gaze from the fallen man to you.
You retreated quickly, darting one alley over and across the street to the apartment buildings. Knowing that you had witnessed something that was nearly a murder, sent shivers down your spine and your mind went into a frenzy. What if those men decided to go after you now? Were you safe? Should you call the police?
Shaking slightly, you rushed into the building and into the elevator, clicking the fifth floor button. The wait to get up to your floor seemed to take forever, making you increasingly paranoid as the seconds passed by. As soon as the elevator let you out, you found your door, unlocking it and shutting it behind you.
Once you were inside the comforts of your home, you eased up a little bit. You left your shoes and purse by the door then made your way to your bedroom. You changed out of your clothes that reeked of death and into a freshly cleaned pair of pajamas.
Like most other nights, you probably wouldn’t get much sleep, but it was worth a try. You groaned and laid down in your bed, covering up with the heavy comforter. As soon as your head hit the soft pillow, you’d passed out.
Your eyes took in the room you were currently in; the previously painted beige walls had been speckled by a thick red liquid, a lamp had fallen from a table, the light bulb shattering on the hardwood floor that had been stained with the same liquid that was on the walls, a tall man had loomed above two familiar fearful people. One of those people was your mother, the other being your older brother, Haneul. You, however, were sitting in the darkened closet where your bother had told you to stay put until he came to get you.
The tall shadowy man had yanked your mother away from your brothers grip, carrying her off to a separate room in the house. Haneul looked towards you, placing a finger over his lips, telling you to stay quiet.
Haneul stood up and went to wherever the man and you mother were. After that, you heard shouting, then a few gunshots. Everything went silent and you went further into the closet, covering up with a blanket, scared of whatever would come next.
Suddenly, you jolted up, drenched in cold sweat with all of your blankets thrown off of your bed. Your clock was the only thing shining through the darkness of your room reading ‘3:00 AM’. You groaned and decided to give up on sleep. Sifting through your dresser, you gathered an outfit, then went to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower to clear your mind.
You just hoped today was a slow day and there wasn’t anything particularly too stressful.
