Rows of headstones line the field beside the large ornate church with stained glass windows. The Church is mid-century and made of stone. A large steeple resides in the center adorned with a cross. Large front doors made of wood with iron handles. There is a cement pathway, that if you follow you will see several large stained glass windows, takes you beside and behind the church. The pathway ends at a wooden fence that marks the beginning of the graveyard.

small living thing
I am a small living creature. I like to crawl on walls and the floor of the castle. I enjoy stealing food where I can and spying on the people.
Many people to watch tonight.. I hoe they came with snacks. ....hello? Who's there? I would love to see what this human is carrying. I hope there is food inside this. Hey! My handkerchief! Who's there! Show yourself! Don't worry human, I am only looking for food. I like to climb the walls and spy on your kind. Whoa, hello there! What are you doing in the Church of all places? Surely there is more food to be found in the markets? This church is beautiful and gives me the chance to see the odd things the humans do. Tell me, why are you here? Do you see that large wooden box at the front of all these pews? Someone dear to me is inside it. I've come to pay my respects. It is interesting how the humans mourn their dead. I'm sorry for your loss. I think you might need this back.  Thank you. What are your customs when you have one of your own depart from this life, small one? We feel sadness and regret at the loss, but we don't have the skills to bury our bodies like the humans do. We must leave the area where our loved one died and not return until they have become one with the earth again. Nature takes care of the dead. I am very curious about how humans build such amazing things. Even the sunlight is changed when it shines through the painted windows here. I see. Perhaps there is no "best" way of mourning, but so long as we remember those we have lost, things will be alright.
