ONE NIGHT IN CEMETERY

In the night at the calm village somewhere. There is a wide cemetery. It’s a rainy night. Although it’s just a drizzling rain, but it makes the wind blows frozenly. The night is so silent, cold and eerie. No sound, no living moves,…Nothing.
The grey big tombstones stand proudly and conceited to give a fear impression for everyone who sees it.
In the middle of the cemetery, there’s a grave-house from stone. Although not the only one but it’s the biggest one, and looks brand new. Someone opens the wood door of the grave-house. And then there’s a silhouette of a man walks in to the grave-house of stone. He lets the door open.
The man is looking around to make sure no one watches him. He walks tottering. His body is shaking by the cold wind but he seems doesn’t really care.
Inside the grave, he turns on the flashlight that he brought before. The light gives a little bright shine inside the grave-house. That man is in mid thirty with the dark hair and sharp eyes. He seems forgot to shaving this morning, coz his face looks terrible.
His big body covered by the black coat. He brings a bottle of beer in his left hand. The bottle is almost empty.
He walks to the stone-coffin that stored in the center of the grave-house and puts the bottle on the floor. His eyes watch sharply to the coffin. He grins.
“I hope I wouldn’t disturb your resting peace.” He grins, “But I think you don’t need the diamond ring and the Rolex anymore. So, just let me keep it for you, okay?”
That man pushes away the cover of the stone-coffin to open it. He shines the flashlight into it.
