No one lives in the Undertaker's cottage.

No one has ever lived in the Undertaker's cottage.

The cottage itself stoops low and crooked, surveying all and yet seeing none of the cemetery it was built to stand by. The cemetery is large and littered with countless tombstones. And yet there are no funerals in Indigo Falls. The dead aren't buried in Indigo Falls.

People move into the Undertaker's cottage.

But no one has ever lived in it.

And the sad truth is that no one ever will.

If you were to stand outside of the cottage, you'd see them. Sometimes it's a family, new to Indigo Falls; sometimes it's a new Undertaker, from a town beyond ours. The family will never be seen again. The Undertaker wasn't hired to tend the grounds of the cemetery. You'll watch them enter the cottage; but they'll never come out the same. It's something about that cottage. Something about what happens within it. Their bodies change. It drives them insane; fills their minds with deception and darkness.

If you were any normal person, just a visitor from the outside, you'd never realise that the tombstones in the cemetery are blank. You'd never know that beneath those tombstones are cement chambers with heavy lids, just big enough to fit a body.

The locals know; and they give that old, decrepit cemetery a wide girth.

The locals know better than to move into the Undertaker's cottage.

But those new to the town will know none of it.

If you, a normal person, were to walk past said cottage and through the cemetery you may just hear the muffled screams and maniacal laughs of the insane men and women, contained after the success of Project #0879, in which, immortality was finally achieved.

With all the new subjects coming to live in the Undertaker's cottage, maybe one day they'll finally perfect the process.

And maybe then, people will finally live in the Undertaker's cottage.

And not eternally beneath the ground.

Alright, so this is a part I am writing for the current Collaborative Writing Project. However, I need tips on linking this in with the rest of the story because I've never done this before. It would also be cool to receive some feedback on things that could be better. I know for one thing I could probably describe the cemetery and the cottage a bit better but as for that I'm stuck. Thanks for reading and I hope to read your comments soon.
