Soul

By Hollie Downie

I like trying to see what people were like by looking at their graves. Bonus points if they also have a bench. I think it’s weird how we memorialise people after they die. It’s like we trap their souls in benches or headstones. I feel no connection to my body; I am a literal bundle of spirit and when I die, I don’t want to be trapped. I want everybody I’ve ever known to forget me. I don’t want to have any tethers or ties, I just want to be free. No grave, no headstone, no bench, no loving memories. Just let me be.
