The Grinning Corpse

A young and healthy shop worker drops into a mysterious coma. No injuries, no brain damage, he simply collapsed. Unresponsive.

When his sister went to visit him in the hospital she discovered something worse. In spite of his vegetative state, her brother is grinning, teeth bared in a painful, grimacing smile. His doctors have tried every muscle relaxant they can find, but his face is trapped in that manic expression. Did something sinister carve this skeleton grin, or is there something we can’t see playing behind his closed eyes?
