Things That Scare Me.

[Rhydderch Hael]

I took courses in Thanatology. I don't think it is what you think it is.

It's the study of death and the bereavement process, and how to comfort widows. The various religious aspects of death, the actual biological processes of death, but it's mostly how to comfort people that have lost loved ones.

I don't know about now, but when I did it, it involved sitting in a hospital room and watching somebody die. It's not for everybody, you need some sense of cold clinical detatchment. Otherwise it screws with your mellon.

Precisely what I thought. The science of death and dying. The study in both physical and spiritual aspects of one's cessation of life and entry into the state of death.

It just sounds like a good place as any for a mad scientist type to begin on his journey into making his very own Zombieville, too.

I'll stick to nekroi mantia, if you don't mind. Would rather talk to ghosts rather than than give them a return ticket to the mortal coil.
