A/n: Imagine you are staring  at a small statue of a boy. His skin is a cold color of cement but his face carries a strange warmth to it. He is also carrying a white rose.

-------

  Truth be told this statue is made from your regular construction cement. In a scary way though, it actually contains a human skeleton, the skeleton of a young boy that is. He died in an accident where he was buried in wet cement. When the boy was identified; using ultrasound; the family was immediately called. They were heartbroken.

  To make have the boy rest in peace they wanted to bury the body or at least cremate the bones. They asked many skilled people to free the child from his stone prison. Many wouldn't do the job because they feared of damaging the bones. When all hope seem to fail, a rare and unique artist came to them with an opportunity. This artist was the famous Guertena. He said he could carve a body and face that had a strong resemblance to the boy's original form. Taking this as their best chance at peace they agreed.

  Guertena immediately went to work and began carving and chipping into the cement block the boy was in encased in. After three months of nonstop work the statue was completed. The parents were very impressed and wanted to pay Guertena for his hard work but, he declined saying it was the least he could do for a boy trapped in stone. A few days later a funeral was set and the family used the statue to mourn for the boy's death.

  They kept the statue in the boy's room since it might break apart if buried. Days later the parents and other family member started to feel....as if they weren't alone. They felt a strange presence that some people claim to be the spirit of the young boy. The presence had scared away friends and cousins as they were scared to even set foot in to the house. In the midst of becoming outcasts or family,they returned the statue to Gurtena saying it might be safer with him.

  With the statue returned Guertena took this opportunity and painted it making it a unique art piece. He now calls it "Art Of The Dead".
