Especially the way you had the readers see them as people and a thought on what their life was like rather than just see them as a pile of bones.

The walls are decorated with filigree – but its of bone!! There are chandaliers, over 3500 skeletons are housed in the one building alone. Its very nodescript and unless you’d have heard of it before you would never have even thought to pay the monastry a visit. Most of these images you won’t see when you visit it.

You cannot take photos inside and its a few Euro donation to enter (I may have snapped one or two sneakily – i’m already going to hell so meh but I was discreet unlike the loud stereotypical American black woman goin OH MY GAWWD – she *****ed me off thoroughly, her husband actually left because he was scared lol)

Also, there is some really good restaurants just up the street hehe.

That’s what paintings and, later on, photographs are for. Remembering people long past.

Shows how dumb people really are.

People simply decompose naturally into the soil and we don't have to build large underground caverns.
