It took quite a while to reach the destination. There they saw her body, mangled and ripped to shreds by vultures and other creatures. She needed a proper burial.

"No!" She responded. "Please, just burn it all. I don't want any more animals to find it!"

How did she hear me? I was thinking it, not speaking it.

He did as she asked and built a fire for her corpse, and with a strong enough stomach to tolerate the smell of rotting flesh and decay.

He turned to the ghost. "What happened to you?"

"My husband shot me and dumped my body here to get eaten away by those DISGUSTING creatures!"

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I don't think she quite understands how Mother Nature works, he thought.

She smiled after looking at he burning body. "Thank you!" He smiled at her back, as a bright light surrounded her and slowly, she vanished. He felt proud of himself, he dealt with death, but he never in his life helped a ghost.

Gabriel bounced in excitement, scanning the area in hopes of finding more corpses to burn. He walked further deep into the woods and saw an unmarked grave.

He dug out the dirt and moss, and found the corpse of a woman with strands of dark hair and wearing a faded scarlet red dress.

"I'm going to burn this one too." He said.

Gabriel began his search to find twigs and leaves for the fire, until suddenly, a wolf appeared. It made him jump, he scrambled desperately to find a good tree to climb up.

But the wolf wanted nothing to do with him, Gabriel realized. The wolf lay down next to the grave, with sadness in its eyes.

The boy decided, either stupidly or bravely, to sit next to the wolf.
