They started with Alkoff, working quickly to send him on his way. Then, they went up and collected Branneth, who’d been left in the woods near the preparation stone during the funeral. Mattli felt she didn’t deserve his time. Lehman couldn’t argue with that.

The process was all very odd to her. The concept of tiny robots emerging and eating a dead body, then returning from whence they came was so…well, fictional to her. She had a hard time grasping it. At least until she saw the ash.

While they waited for the timer to count down, Mattli told her everything—what they’d read in the journal, how the dead room worked, and Alkoff’s desire to go back to the mainland.

They took Alkoff’s ashes topside and let the wind take him to see the rest of their world. They did Branneth no such respect. She was simply swept into a small can near the table along the wall, mixed with the ashes of those before her, ready for disposal at some other time.

As they carefully covered the door to the dead room, Lehman stood and stretched in the sunlight. “So, that’s where the secrets started, huh?”

Mattli nodded down at the brush covering the island’s dark history. “And that’s where they end.”
