The Quiet Room: Over My Dead Body The quiet room was supposed to be a place of dignity a place where the dead were prepared for their final goodbye and final rest. For Evan, it became something else growing up as the funeral director son. He never stood a chance. His classmates made sure of that. They mocked him, humiliated him, and reminded him every day that he would never fit in. They called him names like corpse boy and so many other horrible ones, because of his family's profession and turned his school years into a living nightmare. Even the girl he secretly loved couldn't see past the boy everyone else had already decided to hate. As the years passed, Evan learned to bury more than the dead. He buried every insult, every rejection, every ounce of anger until there was almost nothing left inside him except resented resentment then one day, fate delivered one of his tormentors to his Funeral Home standing alone inside the quiet room surrounded by silence and death Evan discovers something he never knew he needed. For the first time in his life, he isn't the victim anymore. He has all the control. When it happens again and then again something inside of him begins to change period the quiet room becomes more than a place where the dead are prepared for burial. It's it becomes the only place where his rage finally makes sense. His obsession grows deeper with every visit, and the voice of reason grows quieter as another voice begins convincing him that revenge is his justice and justice has no limits. As the boundaries between grief, as the boundaries between grief, hate, fantasy and reality slowly disappear, Evan finds himself descending Into Darkness from which there may be no return. Some people carry scars. Some carry monsters. And sometimes the most dangerous monster is in a Funeral Home. A Funeral Home isn't where the dead are laid to rest. Not today It's where the living finally lose their minds.
