Resurrection
Jesse felt them, one by one, returning from the death that had been given to them by some stranger. As each one came back to life, he felt his spirits lift. His heart lighten.

At least, he thought, they would have no memory of their deaths.
He hoped.
Suddenly a new sort of panic started to rise in him.
