ChiBits often hears strange things while patrolling the graveyard, even the thoughts of some of the poor souls buried in here, but he is never scared, just curious and sometimes sad. He has also seen many, many strange things going on in this cemetery after dark that have piqued his curiosity and he has often watched from a distance. His fate was sealed millenia ago to this sacred burial spot which has been in continuous use since before The Great Flood. Corpses AND graves have a strange way of disappearing allowing use by new generations. Here are a couple of thoughts that he has heard: R.I.P. b.1815 d.1905?
"How long have I been lying here in consummate murkiness within this musty, moldering casket? How long will it take for my body to finally rot to the point where the flies, worms, and beetles can find no further nourishment from my decaying corpse?"
"It seems like decades since my coffin was put into this dry, warm earth. Is that the reason why my decay has been so slow, because the warm dry earth protects the wood from the ravages of moisture and wood rot for this length of time? Do those who were buried on a wet, rainy day and covered with water-logged dirt, rot away at a faster rate? Do the flies, worms, and beetles dissect those bodies quicker?" All these exasperating problems occupy my mind continuously as I lay here.
"Yes, my mind is still functioning while my body is incapable of even the slightest feeling, having been exscinded by my wriggly and crawly friends. I have no feelings of revulsion or horror. How could I feel this, for I am long dead, but my damned mind just keeps engaging, functioning, laboring."
Sleep never comes, because I am supposed to have been given the gift of eternal life and rest. "Is this how it is for all who fill this vast cemetery? Are they too laying in their places sharing the same thoughts as myself? How infuriating to be unable to ask them. Eternal life be damned if this is all there is."
"What do I miss you may wonder? Would you even care? I miss the feel of the sun's warmth on my face. I miss the sound of my girlfriend's voice. I miss the smell of steak on the barbeque. I miss the taste of a good beer with friends after work. I miss me! Do the others here miss these things also? Are they too 'blessed' with this eternal life?"
"Please, please, please dear Great One, if you really do exist, and I surely believe that you do, please stop this mind of mine working, working, working..."
