The Characters

Joshua sat crouched in an alley. It was midnight. She was supposed to meet Josh in the alley, at midnight. Together, they only had one minute to make it to the Middle Grounds, protected by the only time of night that death took a breather. Josh didn't have time to talk, so he blurted out - "Let's go!" The Middle Grounds were only a mile away, and midnight was the only time Josh could escape to the middle grounds without being carried into the after-life. But then they saw him.
