until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world

“Truth be told, there’s no real reason for them to be stumbling around in the woods at this hour, guided only by the pale glow of a slivered moon and the dim light of the phone clutched in her sister’s hand, all too easily swallowed up by the inky darkness filling the gaps between the trees. All that remains of August Cartwright fits neatly within the heavy-duty garbage bag that Alice now carries, five pounds of ashes and various bits of bone that she’d taken great care to secure every last piece of after the cremation process. Neither Kate nor Jacob had asked very many questions about how Alice had known how to operate a cremation chamber, or how she’d gotten such easy access to one in so little time. It might have been the shock curbing their tongues, but Alice suspects it may have also been just a touch of horror at how easily she‘d managed to come up with a plan to dispose of the body that had been lying on the floor of her sister’s bar a mere handful of hours ago.”//The one in which the Kane family buries a body together.A continuation of 1x15.
