[He doesn't sound all that confident, though, considering the graveyard was what he'd gravitated to first and he didn't really care as much about any other part of town after.] The only people I saw go near it were those ones who wear gas masks. [So double the weird for the price of one. It seems wild to him that it is the only formal burial site in the town, which means that surely everyone must have relatives buried there. Why wouldn't anything be done about the flooding? Still...]

But the forest seems messed up too.
