With hell full, the dead rose on earth. Suspended upside down, their arms outflung to form inverted cruciforms, they prowl the sky in slow rotations like a tide of memory. So many of them and almost all recent. Sometimes we see people we knew, eyes open and sightless. People cry out to lost loved ones but the dead make no response. The air is filled with pleads, curses, and apologies. And feelings of absolute loss stir anew in the hearts of so many, as they relive the deaths they thought buried so long ago.
