Magical Midlife Madness (Dramatized Adaptation)

Beyond the gardens loomed the large plant labyrinth that should have been so weird but somehow fit this place Before I could feel too contented. I caught sight of Edgar walking across the grass Dragging a half-naked body behind him I flinched bumped the table knocked over the vase and overturned the chair as I bounced to my feet What in the he was using the man's socked ankle as a means to pull his body through the carefully tended grass No shirt adorned the man's upper body and a dribble of blood ran down his neck and onto his pale chest His arms flared out to the sides and his head bobbed against the lumps on the ground.

I pointed at the man laying haphazardly at Edgar's feet that's happening
