I looked at Matt, I knew where he was coming from the Sky Father, Earth Mother, spiritual thing. “Matt, I know that you will not agree with me but there are some things that make a person underserving of even the basic human kindnesses. What he did, what he was working on, what he tried to do, fit that category in my mind.”

“Tom, he was a human being, evil, or not, he was a human. He deserves at least that much dignity.”

“Think back, when we have had deaths in the past there were two ways we disposed of the bodies, the empty shells. Our own we buried, family, friends, part of the clan, we buried them in our little cemetery. Then those we didn’t know we burned, and why did we do that?” I began.

Matt looked at me for a moment, “I understand, because family is family, and they deserve it, and in the case of the burning we were a little less gentle.”

“Part right, we buried family because it helped those of us left behind to deal and cope with the loss a little better, we put them in the ground because it was what we, humans have always done. It gave us a place to go, to visit, to remember.”

“Okay, shouldn’t we bury them all?” Matt asked.

“How could we, no, some we had to burn. Either way we had to, the virus in them and then for hygiene sake we burned the rest. I think you can understand that.”

“But why is Mills being left in the woods?” he asked.

“Because he was what he was, and doesn’t deserve better!”

“Are you sure? He was a fellow human, evil or not, he was still human, he is dead now, how are you punishing him, by letting animals ravage his body?” was Matts retort.

I came back with, “I don’t care, I don’t want him in our cemetery, I don’t want him to find peace, and I don’t care. You have made your point, and I will consider it, but don’t get your hopes up.”

I sat down by the lake for a while, looking over the water. As I sat eyes closed, Asuna sat down in the Adirondack chair next to me. I could tell it was her by the smell of her soap. Funny, how we still catch such things.

“You okay?” she asked. She seems to know, sense when I am in turmoil.

“Yeah, just thinking.” I replied.

“About what?”

“Mills, Fort Knox, Cheyenne, what we may have opened as a can of worms.” I answered.

“Yeah, lot of things could happen. I wonder, you think that the bases may take a shot at us?” she asked.

“Don’t know, Cheyenne and Pittsburgh seemed cool with what happened. We have no idea what is up with Fort Knox.”

I opened my eyes and looked at her.

“Maybe we should talk with The Three and push along the move. Get settled in, just in case someone does something stupid,” she offered.

“Yeah, probably.”

“There’s more isn’t there.” She said.

“Yeah.”

“And.”

“Okay, Matt caught me this morning, he is not happy with our dumping Mills in the woods.
