The Silence Suddenly Screamed

in the dead of night, the crickets crawled across the graves taking care not to rub their legs together and disturb the stillness and soundlessness of the ancient graveyard

at the end of the road a dim figure strode towards the last resting place for humanity taking care not to upset the serenity of the humid night

the moon slowly rose in the sky above the place where people went when they died

silhouettes of lost souls strolling in the eerie quietude of endless tombstones overgrown with mantles of moss flitted through the overgrown grass unaware of the stranger

phantoms of the past paraded over the marble mausoleums of the rich and famous with impunity born from being deceased for millenniums

the young husband approached the recent grave of his young bride, while raising a pistol to his head and calling out her name though she was dead

The silence suddenly screamed…
