When she was safe under the earth, I headed back to the hut and went through the cemetary’s records. Just thinking about it makes me feel faint.” She smiled at me. She looked down at her translucent form and shuddered. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen, and you don’t want that.” Breaking your tie to your body too early could… damage you. It’s only a few days,” I added reassuringly. You probably won’t be able to leave the cemetary for that time - there’s a limit to how far you’ll be able to get from your body before the three days are over.” You’ll sleep during the day for three days, from dawn until sunset, but be able to move around at night. “And I’ll wake up again in three days?” She looked worried. It’s different for spirits from other faiths, or who died in particular circumstances, of course.” “You’ll need to return to your body to… sleep, I guess is the closest word… for three days, then. “You didn’t emerge until your funeral started, right?” She nodded, and I shrugged. “It’s not uncommon.” I got up and stretched. “I didn’t know ghosts could get tired,” she said, puzzled. She watched it all night - some godawful reality garbage, but it took her mind off things - and I could tell when dawn came because she yawned, and then looked surprised. I set up the laptop to stream her favourite show, and left it playing while I went to continue my rounds, hoping distraction would help. I didn’t want the kid to wind up like that. One idea - vengeance, usually - gets stuck in their minds and consumes them completely. It’s why there are stories about evil ghosts. Once they get an idea in their heads, it’s really hard to dislodge it, and she’d had all afternoon and evening to work on this one. Maybe that’s why.” She chewed on her lower lip. It got so bad that anyone more than twenty or twenty-five minutes late for a funeral isn’t allowed through the gates.” “If I had a dollar for every time someone showed up late and made a scene, I’d be able to buy a new car. He’d have told them when they arranged the funeral that anyone more than twenty-five minutes late shouldn’t bother.” She looked upset, and I shrugged. ![]() “And if they loved me, wouldn’t they have found a way?” “It doesn’t say who was in the accidents,” she said, pouting. A lot of spirits want to know why someone they loved didn’t come. There’s almost always at least one - there’s this one intersection that no exorcism, ritual purification or cleansing spell has ever worked on - and it usually helps. Sure enough, there’d been three major car accidents between the area she’d lived in and the cemetary. She sipped her tea while I opened the laptop and ran the usual searches. She’s Korean, and knows a lot about hungry ghosts. I showed her how to take it, the ghostly echo of the solid cup, and told her I’d learned it from the day attendant over at the columbarium. “I’m not solid,” she said, her lip quivering. I brought her in, and made two cups of tea, offering her one. She followed me, drifting silently, back to the hut. I’ve got a laptop in the watchman’s hut.” “Stanley.” She couldn’t shake hands, so I gave her a friendly nod. “Sometimes it means that something else happened. “If they cared about me, they would have come,” she wept. An age of strong emotions and fierce resentments. I went over to her, careful to keep the grave between us so I wouldn’t scare her. The cemetary is for the dead and the grieving. It happens sometimes, and I never chase them. It was my first walkthrough of the night when I saw the girl weeping beside the grave. There’s a lot of entertainment in a good chase, at least for me, and scaring the crap out of them is fun too. Sometimes I get to chase off teenagers or would-be occultists or obnoxious drunks, which is fun. It’s pretty peaceful, most of the time, which is nice. the great thing about being open source is you yourself (or other people who know more about security) can check the safety of the code, vulnerabilities get patched quickly, and if some bullshit does happen you can always compile it without the bullshit yourself.Night watchman at a cemetary isn’t the kind of job most people want. In comparison, programs such as qbittorrent and transmission are entirely free and open source and ad free. theres literally no reason to use utorrent, its only used because its already well known. Someone said utorrent doesnt mine anymore but honestly dont use it anyway given its history, and it being proprietary closed-source adware. Someone needs to inform the (rightly) pro-piracy tumblr users that it is no longer 2014 and some of the services they are recommending will turn ur computer in a broken microwave that serves bitcoins to shitheads.ĭo NOT EVER use uTorrent. ![]()
