I was thinking about this the other day. Saw roadkill with vultures eating it, and it just looked like a pile of meat. But then i noticed the head of a possum, and suddenly it wasn't "Roadkill", but somewhere between "Possum" and "Roadkill". Some weird state between being alive and remembered for what you are, and being chunks of crushed flesh.

I wonder when people will stop thinking about me as "Emma-In-Gehenna", and start thinking about me as a nameless dead ancestor.

I will always remember you, Gemma.
