Chapter 12
"All Saints"
Embedded Files
In San Diego’s Catholic cemetery, two men are digging a grave. One complains to the other, who is a more experienced gravedigger, about the fact that they are digging into the site of a recent grave. The experienced gravedigger makes fun of his companion, saying, “If you had dug up a twenty-day-old corpse the way I have, at night, in the dark, in the rain…and my lantern went out…The coffin came open and the body almost came out. It stunk. And we had to carry it…
” He goes on to tell his friend that the head priest ordered him to do this. At a certain point, an old man approaches and asks the gravedigger where a skull he put in the cemetery has gone. The gravedigger doesn’t know, and the old man berates him, accusing him of not understanding how important his job is.
