Comparative Religions--Monday, Period Three, Class #10--Death Rituals

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, everyone," Vala greeted them from on top of her desk and sipped from a large cup of coffee, strangely quiet. "I'm glad to see that you made it through last week. In memory of Bart Allen and noting that many of you were extremely sick, I'd like to take it easy today. I've left some handouts about how several different religions and cultures address the issue of death. For next week, I'd like you to write a five page paper detailing the differences between them, if a religion's way of dealing with it appeals to you or offends your sensibilities, and if there is anything you would think would bring comfort to those mourning."

"On that note, I'd also like to say a brief thank you to Karal, who organized such a moving ceremony for a fellow student. You went above and beyond the call of duty."

"Now," she said, finally noticing something odd about some of the students if they were there, "would someone please tell me what's going on with you guys now?"

Blackheart was taking extra care to pay attention to the handouts today. Mostly because he was very, very grumpy, and the urge to kill was rising.

This way, if he killed anything, it was going to be the handouts. Which was good. Nobody had ever been expelled for tearing paper.

He hoped.
