My home has a lot of property attached to it, and the vast majority of it is woods. Naturally, I go exploring in the woods a lot, since I don’t have much else to do in the summer. In the woods, I came across a big diving in the land, and based off what I’ve seen, I can only assume it was once an old quarry, since I find a lot of coal around there. The feeling there is weird, all the birds are quiet and the wind goes still whenever I’m there, and it’s just generally unsettling. Plus, there are little outcrops of rock along the “walls” of the quarry, and there are bunches of bones there. When I say bunches, I mean it. There are easily at least 15 dead animal skeletons there. None of them seem to be organized, they seem to just be scattered around. In one of the little caves below an outcrop, there is a single skull of a coyote, some wind chimes hanging inside the little crevasse, and a chalice. It wasn’t filled with anything, and the lip was chipped. It was supper weird, and I just felt creeped out in general. I generally avoid that quarry if I don’t have to be there. But, whenever something dies on our property, say a deer from roadkill, or a bird that hit the glass of a window too hard, I always bring the body there. It just feels right somehow, like if something is to be left to rot it should be in that quarry.
