the body farm


you walk through the gate and the sense of forboding overwhelms you
you can smell the decay and death all around you
the disgusting unsettling of bodies strewn all about you
all corpses in various states of decomposition
you will question humanity
you will question life and death
you cant help but stare or be sickeningly shocked
you wont be able to look away
corpses with no name and no means of knowing why
only those that come in visitation
crime investigators seeking knowlege
the lost dead locked in the thrall of time

    Hey wow I just heard of these places just recently. How disgusting, they put the bodies in differnt circumstances so that CSI people can identify how long a body has been there and stuff. That would a creepy job. Good way of looking at it. Thanks for sharing.
