Alhambra Cemetery

Knock, Knock. Who’s there? No one. No one is here except well you know, dead people.
Today, May 21^st is claimed to be the «Rapture». Not only will the living good ascend to heaven but the dead will rise and ascend also.
So that means that today is supposed be a zombie invasion. The gates are locked and the fences are up. I could see through the chain link. Which is good to keep the zombies in.
I could see the past markers and bulletin boards with information on them. The signage looks like the ones that are at the entrances to East Bay Parks.
Except I couldn’t go in and look at them. I was so sad. The Cemetery looks so cool.
From what my neighbor told me is that they only open it around Halloween to give tours that the City of Martinez runs. I’m so signing up for that this year.
There are roughly 2,600 people buried here. Who would have thought?
Only one famous person is buried here too. Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General, Gen George Washington Bowie. In 1854, he was elected to the California state assembly.
Its sad to think that the graves here are so old that no one even remembers to come here to lay flowers on their relatives graves. I guess that happens to everyone in the end.
I really wish the Cemetery was open to visitors at least once a month or something, anything. When staring through chain link you really don’t get the full effect.
So when a living person «ascends» to heaven do you just disappear or do you kind of float slowly up like a balloon? Then like 20 minutes later if you focus your eyes you can still see it. We can be like, «Oh, there they are. To the left a little over those trees. See the black dot?»
I cant wait to take a tour of this place someday. I also kind of cant wait for Rapture!
Ill see you in hell.
