Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Josh had imagined many times what meeting his mother for the first time would be like.

He had thought that she would look a mess, working at some shady establishment against. her will.

He had thought that she would look cold and heartless, taking deep drags of her cigarette as she shooed them away impatiently and claiming she had no sons like them.

He had also thought that upon finding out they were from the Crawford family, she would change her attitude at once and try to wrangle something out of them…

This was the only situation he had not expected.

How long had she been nailed down like this? Had she been here this entire time?

In the coffin, Lisa’s fingers spasmed from the exertion of pressure.

They jerked to a halt at last, drooping back down.

It was as if she had tried this a billion times, but to no avail….

Disappointed once again, the woman stared straight in front of her, her pupils unblinking and unmoving. It was a terrifying sight- she did not look like a live human being at all.

Josh asked in a trembling voice, “Is she still alive?”

A voice floated in, “She’s considered alive, but could also be considered dead. She’s undead.”

Pablo floated in from outside, speaking to Lilly first. “Don’t worry. Your father and that Mr. Arthur are completely fine.”
