Blood food
The discovery was mind blowing by most standards. I mean who unearths an Egyptian mummy after so many centuries?
"Dr.Hima! "
I turn surprised by my assistant's shout. His wide, frightened eyes stare back at me. "What is it, Ron?"
He points at the corner of the mummy's coffin. "That's dried blood, Dr. I think there's someone else in there with that mummy." I remembered the movie "The Mummy" and got all excited. Maybe, I can witness the same excitement.
I moved the mummy and found nothing but a pitcher of dried blood. I moved it in front of Ron and scoffed at him. Ron wasn't pleased at all. That night, I couldn't sleep. What was a pitcher of blood doing next to mummy? It was a common ritual to place stuff dead people liked in the coffin, like some food, jewellery or pet animal but blood!!??
Next morning, Ron and I were next to the coffin before the rest of faculty. Ron looked at me and brought forward a test tube full of goat blood. He was waiting for my permission, and on getting it, dropped the blood in mummy's mouth. We stood agape, looking for some supernatural activity, but, nothing happened. We felt like complete idiots and promised not to tell this act of stupidity to anyone.
