I haven’t had to burn a body in a while, but this week is an exception, which is why the bin is almost overflowing despite its large size. It’ll take over two hours for the fire to break down the body to bones. I’ll put cedar and more charcoal on top of the bones so that it’ll smell good by the time Dinah joins me. Before her family comes next week, I’ll go on a hike and bury the bones a mile or so out into the woods. I can fit an entire body in my camp pack. The skull starts out as the biggest bone but is easy to shatter into smaller parts once it burns long enough.
I wonder if she's aware.
