It’s too loud around here

You know, sometimes cemeteries are okay. Not because of the dead people. Dead people are more trouble than living people half the time. I just like them cuz they’re quiet. The funny thing about cemeteries is that they’re usually pretty empty. Empty of souls, I mean. Obviously they’re full of dead bodies. But that’s really all that’s there—dead bodies.
Most people would expect cemeteries to be full of souls, but that’s not how it is. Maybe spirits don’t like to be by their bodies or something. I dunno. If you ask me, I think they just get really bored. I always see them around other living people. Most people don’t even notice, but for people like me it can get really annoying pretty quickly. I mean, there’s nowhere you can go to get away from those guys. Door and walls and stuff don’t keep them out. Sometimes I just want to be left alone for a little while, you know? It’s bad enough having a dad who barges in on me all of the time without having to deal with random souls doing it too. Can’t a guy get a break? Sheesh.
So, yeah. That’s why they’re okay. Cemeteries, I mean. No one—alive or dead—bugs me there.
