The Mysterious Secret of the Morgue

A Dark Trade: Uncovering the Secrets Behind the Morgue's Walls

By HANANE ATTAOUIPublished about a year ago 2 min read

Working in the morgue had always been routine for me. My name is Sam, and I inherited the job from my family. My father was the director of the only morgue in town. Working with the dead was never what I wanted for myself, but after my father’s sudden death, I became the sole person responsible for the morgue and for my mother, who relied on me.

One cold night, while organizing old morgue files, I came across a folder I had never seen before. It was stamped "Top Secret" and contained strange reports about bodies brought in over the years. The strangest part, however, was the notes about "missing organs" from some of the bodies.

I was confused and anxious. How could such things happen in the morgue? After days of investigation, I found myself entangled in a conspiracy I never imagined. Some of the bodies had been arriving at the morgue under mysterious circumstances, with certain organs missing before arrival. It turned out there was an underground network, manipulating the corpses and selling the organs on the black market.

I knew I had to face the truth. I gathered all the evidence and contacted the authorities. But I felt like I was being followed. There was always a black car trailing behind me wherever I went. One night, when I decided to confront those responsible for this network, the black car pulled up beside me, and inside was a mysterious man staring at me with cold eyes.

At that moment, I realized I had stumbled into something far bigger than I had anticipated. Should I continue digging for the truth, or save myself and leave this dark world behind? I had to decide quickly.

As I stared into the man’s eyes from the black car, my heart raced. I nervously asked, “What do you want from me?” He smiled coldly and calmly replied, “You know too much.”

I had two choices: run away and escape from this dark secret or face the truth, no matter the consequences. I took a deep breath and chose the harder path. I told the man clearly, “I’m going to expose everything. I won’t let this filthy operation continue.”

The man stepped out of the car slowly and started walking toward me, but before he reached me, I heard the sound of police cars approaching. I wasn’t alone in this; I had sent all the evidence I collected to the authorities before confronting him.

With the arrival of the police, the man was arrested, and I discovered that this network ran deeper than I had imagined. He was just a middleman, and the whole operation was overseen by people in high places.

I testified and helped the authorities dismantle the network. I felt relieved but also burdened; it wasn’t easy to face this dark world, but I knew that what I did was right.

Months later, things returned to normal. I sold the morgue and decided to start a new life far away from the secrets of the dead and the darkness of the morgue. I realized that life is full of mysteries, but in the end, it’s up to us whether we live in the shadows or face the truth.
