Heart of the City by Steenz for June 29, 2024

My sister was goth. Eventually you get used to it.

Talk about spooky, that kid Harold is always attending funerals with a woman old enough to be his grandmother.

I used to love visiting cemeteries with my grandmother when I was a child. Old, cool cemeteries full of statues and worn marble and ancient trees.

My daughter had a goth phase, she did outgrow it but not all kids do.

Goth kids are the nicest people I ever knew.

Are the goth teens playing “Go Fish” or plotting out the end of creation?

There was a time when cemeteries were the only green space in large cities. Very popular spots for picnics and strolling at that time.

She might not want to read “On The FasTrack”…!

Okay; I saw nothing odd about the white picket fence. However, if it divides the cemetery in half (there are headstones on both sides of the fence?), THAT seems a little weird.

Those are some pretty goofy looking NPCs.

About 40 years ago I read a story in the Minneapolis Tribune Sunday Magazine about two congregations from the city going out to visit two country congregations, with the afternoon activity being cleaning up one church’s cemetery, culminating in a communion service uniting the spirits of the living with the memory of the dead.

Cemeteries are nice, quiet places. And the residents don’t mind having company.
