About Love and Formaldehyde

Details
Nineteen year old Prince is terrible at telling almost anyone how he feels, and even worse at showing it. Without the ability to let his emotions show on his face, he's always had a hard time making friends — even in the mortuary program at a welcoming technical college, Prince only spends time with roommate Daniel while nursing a distant crush on classmate Aodh. When their professor assigns them to do a temporary internship together at a local funeral home in the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, will Prince finally have the chance to confess his feelings? Or will life — and death — get in the way?
