THE MORTUARY DIARIES - S B AMALJITH

Guys,

This is the first of a set of 10 stories, which is set around the mortuary in a medical college. A Mortuary is a place for the dead. A Mortuary is a very depressing place.

But is that all? Let's find out.

(N.B:These stories are just random , they are not serialised in any way. But there might be certain links and connections. Read between the lines and you will find the magic)
