The Tales From Beyond : STACH Short Story Contest #28

source

Sorrow, nothing but sorrow blankets the street the day the news broke out, the woman next to our house died while giving birth, doors were closed and heads bowed as mourners enter the house, why? why? The husband keep asking himself why him of all men, the trauma will later make him change the environment.

Not long after the family of the bride came demanding to know how this could have happened and they weren't notified, they sought for explanations beyond the physical not forgetting that every night the woman's spirit roams the house asking them to bring her baby to her for breastfeeding.
In one last resort her corpse was taken home to a necromancer and was asked of her what killed her, she asked them if they are ready to hear the tales from beyond and they nodded in affirmative, she began by telling them she was killed by one of the concubine of her husband. But she begged the family to forgive her husband and let peace reign for she loved her husband and want peace after death.
