FOMITE

On Wednesday, Apr 13, 1968, at 7:30 PM, William Eugene Vanderbilt-Davidoff rose from the dead. 

Upon discovering Mr. Vanderbilt-Davidoff’s open, empty casket, and after a short staff meeting, Randy, Jim, and Lamont decided to replace Will with four bags of roadway salt laid end to end, and close the coffin. Screw it down. It was a closed-casket contract. Who would know? And Dignity Funeral Home & Services could hardly afford the scandal of having lost a client.

Et Resurrexit explores Will's further adventures.
