"Yeah, sometimes I go for walks in the cemetery," she admitted. "It's just around to the left side from here. When I walk around and read the epitaphs written on the gravestones, it almost feels like I'm walking through a crowd of people gathered in a park. Just like living people you see walking around are all unique, the graves of the dead are all unique, too. Some gravestones are engraved with nothing but a large, imposing name, and others are covered with lines and lines of text written in cramped, tiny letters. And I wonder to myself: What could those people have to say that they had to write so much? And so I just have to stop and take a look. Sometimes the sound of the dead talking is so deafening I have to cover my ears."
