“Always help the people living on this beautiful earth”

“This isn t how it should be, God. Thousands of graves marking thousands of lives--so much focus on death. Did the gravediggers spend their lives just serving the dead? How many Numbers ticked away for the sake of carving headstones no one would read? As I stare at this scene, I decide I don t want a headstone when I die. I don t even want to be buried. I want to disappear--save that chunk of earth for people to live on. This land I stand on is worthless now. No one can build a house here. No one can plant gardens or start a new village. Is that what the people buried beneath me would have wanted? Earth wasn t intended to hold only dead bodies. I stand. God, I need to live.”

Then the first drops, cold and heavy, would plummet from the sky and burst on the ground.”
