Kill Your Family

The Old Boy had been laid to rest around this time last year. His shallow grave was covered with rocks to cover the fact of his decomposition. When one goes about burying a body without a box to hold the remains, decomposition happens at an accelerated rate. This lack of an enclosure also forces the ground where the body is buried to sink. When the skin, internal organs etc, all have seen their last days, the skeleton is the only part that remains. The ground sinks to fill the negative space left by the dead body. My apologies, I have digressed. After a few months, green clover had grown over his shallow grave. It was a constant reminder of the body in the yard. The clover and sinkhole together spelled his name all year long.
