Drabble written to The Reverand's specifications on the occasion of Fandom Aid.

It's quiet here. He says graveyards should be quiet. Peaceful. Rest in peace. Peace in death. Peace is death, but I don't say that. Hardly think it anymore. We're all keeping the peace now, not like... But I don't really know how it was then. It was so hard to see.

I've given up trying to understand some things. He says we all went crazy, the two of them just got there first. He puts out his hand and I take it because he likes that. He says one day I'll like it. I think he's right about that, too.

Here are the lyrics that the Rev gave me for inspiration:

Wandering properties of death
Arresting moons within our eyes and smiles
We did rest
Amongst the granite tombs to catch our breath

Worldly sounds of endless warring
Were for just a moment silent stars
Worldly boundaries of dying
Were for just a moment never ours
All was new
Just as the black horizons blue

Then along the bending path away
I smiled in knowing I'd be back one day
