This is a short story I read as a kid, probably 20+ years ago. I'd have read it in German, no idea if that was the original language. A young child, I think it was a girl, walks to school by herself one morning. Along the way, she discovers the dead body of someone she recognizes (a teacher?) slightly hidden off the road. There's a bullet wound or a similar sign that the person was murdered. The kid goes to school and tries telling the adults about it, but nobody believes her. So on her way back home, out of spite, she hides/covers the body so nobody else will accidentally discover it.

filmcynic posted:So I've been straining my rusty brain for details about a short story that most likely appeared in a horror anthology during the early 1990's. (I've looked at titles edited by the likes of Douglas Winter and Kirby McCauley, but nothing rings a bell.) In the story, a lonely man travels to a remote desert area known for its mysterious Stonehengian sculptures. The story ends with the man being transformed by the locals into a piece of living statuary, complete with a wind chime-like device placed between his teeth to catch the breeze. Aiiiiieeeeeee.
