If there were bigger windows, it would be nicer in there.

It would be nice to race down the hall with, if it weren't rusty looking.

For pjrichard and absynthe,
Those post mortem photos was a thing in the Victorian Era. It wasn't a morbid thing then since the Civil War, diseases, and high mortality was frequent and Death was very much a part of life. 3 out of 5 children wouldn't live to see their seventh birthday in most common families. That is why most families were large, the value of life wasn't as we see it today. Post mortem photography was a way to hold on to a loved one, especially small children. www.anamorfose.be/postmortem.htm
This sight has examples, but I didn't partake in looking on this sight. I don't have the strong emotion enough to look. But an interesting fact is that most of the people wore black because of it, that tells me it is the origins of Goth. Since Goth means Gothic, or Victorian Gothic.

Something about this photo and about the hallway/ward it depicts reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Even though the thought of being in a seclusion ward is horrifying, this touches me somewhere and I can't explain it. I feel like I've been there before, many times.

As a Soldier I have taken part in several burials as a member of the funeral detail or as the Army likes to call it; Ceremonial Detachment. And to think: that some of the dead soldiers that I have buried are lying down on straw like a cow in a barn is horrible.

When it is time for me to die I will go to the funeral parlors and cut open the lining of the coffin and see what is inside of it. I will now have to do research on coffins and see what other types of materials that are used to fill up a coffin.
