A Defrocked Academic

I often walk through a large cemetery on my way to town. During Easter I saw a group of people holding hands, standing in a circle and chanting behind a small chapel near the cemetery gates. The chanting went on and on. It was repetitive but really quite suggestive. I have passed that chapel time and time again, but I never explored what was on the other side. A couple of days ago I did. There was a naked brick wall and a freight container. Not exactly a gloriously abandoned place, but it struck me as a Ligottian moment in the vein of "The Malignant Matrix".

At some point I should post some photos I took of a condemned house I stumbled across on a strangely sparse downhill turn of road here during a brief dérive a few years back. Profoundly ominous little slice of Old Philadelphia amongst somewhat dreary modern surroundings, lightened only by a curious patch of daffodils and tulips amidst an otherwise unkempt and half-dead yard.
