In class today we read a short story called The Brief history of the Dead. It is about the city of all people who have died and have not gone to heaven or hell yet because there are people in the alive world that still know about them. I believe that it may take place in the future because it talks about worldwide chemical warfare. In the middle of the story a virologist appears in the town he makes a comment about some people discovering something, and a few days later people started appearing in the city like crazy. But for every one person appearing three would disappear, and at the end the city was empty except for one old man.
