He had to find a place to hide Christopher ’ s body . He opened the door of the morgue . It was so quiet that he could hear his breath . He found a box which had contained an old lady died of cancer that afternoon .

Now Christopher was in the box , still with weak breath . Blake tremblingly close the box , he dare not look at Christopher ’ s face . Suddenly a very weak voice from Christopher came out “ Save me .”
Blake was extremely frightened by this voice . He sat on the floor for the sudden fright . He cried “ No , Christopher , please , I can ’ t . Please forgive me . I can ’ t lose my everything .” He heavily shut the box .
He curled up in the corner of the morgue . One hour , two hours---
“ Save me ” a voice suddenly woke him up from the sleep . Blake looked around , he was still in the morgue . No one came into the room while he fell into sleep . He slowly approached the box which Christopher was in . Not a little bit of sound was in there . Then he shut off the door of the morgue and went home with a bike .
In the morning of the town , people found the street was very dirty . The early bird , Christopher , didn ’ t show up . People began to look for him . But anywhere they searched , without a little sign of where Christopher should be . Everyone in the town didn ’ t know where Christopher was except Blake , who pretended to look for Christopher with the company of another dweller in the town .

Christopher was still there . The bloody and stiff face showed no sign of life . Blake was sure Christopher had been dead . He wanted to burn Christopher ’ s body without people around would notice . But it was daytime , he had to quit the idea . He made a decision to burn Christopher at night .
When the final stream of sun disappeared , the street lights came on , Blake stood up from his oily armchair . He stepped forward to the box . “ Save me ”, a voice in the corner of the morgue suddenly arose . He shouted out “ Who ’ s there ?” he slowly moved to the corner , there was nothing , even a hair didn ’ t show up there .
He looked around the morgue . Nothing was in the room except himself standing in the center and a dead body in the box . “ Please , Christopher , please forgive me ” he prayed and closed his eyes . “ Save me ” the voice arose once again in the room . Blake was really scared this time . He sat on the floor , closing his eyes , yelled to the box where Christopher had been ." I ' m sorry , man , I ' m sorry , please forgive me ."
