Eyes: A Story by ME (based on a true life experience)

I have never thought of myself as a morbid person before, but I think I'm starting to think twice about that. On my way to school everyday I pass two graveyards, one funeral home, and many dead animals, including a very disturbing-looking rotting dead dog on the side of the road. 
Many people think that I'm, well, unusual, because of the way I dress, which is all black all the time and I definitely stand out in my white bread town. My intrigue with spiritual things adds to my unusualness. I notice things most  people don't notice or refuse to notice. The fact that there is dead everywhere. It's a true fact. You could say I have a sort of sixth sense, like the movie, but not really because I don't actually see dead people. Just death. But that would be cool though. The sad part is that people don't care about the dead. There are so many lonely graveyards and dead animals on the side of the road that people should have the decency to take care of. Our world is all about the living and not acknowledging the dead. 
Ok, Ok, I know it might sound weird but you can learn lot from the dead. My hobby is visiting graveyards. They are not scary places, as many horror movies might want you to think. They are really places of peace and serenity that provide solace to the lonely living. It is quite nice indeed to visit the graves and feel peace.
