It takes a certain type of person to love a place like this, with the\nisolation and the desolation.  Walking\nthrough the cemetery Ingo reflects on the grim truths of his reality, and how\nstrange it is to know every body that lies beneath him in the dust.  As in life, both the once beautiful landscape\nand the once promising future he faced are slowly fading way and the story is\nunforgiving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
