Cemeteries

A photo I took in 2008 at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, SC

Oh, the stories that await you in cemeteries. You don’t have to know anything about the lives of the people whose remains are buried there. Just walk around, look at the gravestones and imagine. Pick a name and dates, or an inspirational inscription, or anything else that catches your eye — like a statue, a tree, a tribute. Sit down and write for 10 minutes.
