Ossuary

This one is heavy. Heavy and soaking wet like a pile of autumn leaves and it is full of life. You might think it would be easy turning it over with a hayfork but the tines would not penetrate the leaf pile half their length.

On the outside it is concentrated yellow, radiating the very last beams of sun energy. Its surface is balmy, covered in thousands tiny water droplets. But the deeper it goes, layer by layer the color changes. In the middle, there is  a dark, pulsating core of crimson. This is "Ossuary" by Element 42.
