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.

I like this picture. I'm in the process of writing a story about a insane asylum. As a writer, I loved the intro to this gallery: "This abandoned asylum still shows the scars of violent mental illness within its decaying back wards... this is a place where dreams fade away and nightmares are born."

This is absolutely astounding. Definitely one of, if not the, most beautiful pictures I've ever seen.

Excelsior would be the technical name of the "straw". Years ago, everything that was shipped was packed in Excelsior. Remember the leg lamp from A Christmas Story? Inside that crate was a ton of Excelsior.

Such a rundown looking room. It's kinda sad. These rooms with the big windows look like they might have looked nice back when the building was new and all.

The light's pretty. Looks bright and warm. Big contrast to the room.

Dang. I don't think you could get me to go to the second story of that building if I knew the floors were unstable. I'm sure no one would enjoy going through the floor.

Nice room. I should make one for my brother when he annoys me.

Yea, this entire building just seems to ooze sorrow. Or it's that pink on the walls. I might say both, but I'm leaning more towards the pink.

It's vaguely dark and depressing in this room. It kinda reminds me of the classrooms in my school.
