I walked all the way from downtown Medellín to the entrance of San Pedro cemetery. As soon as I was inside, the hectic life, the stress, and the noise of one of the largest cities of Colombia were gone. I moved further in, but before I could enter the large space in the central area of the cemetery, the silence of the cemetery was broken and I heard screaming, crying, and shouting - it gave me instant pimples and went straight into my heart. I turned around, and went to the source of the dramatic uproar. Near one of the walls of tombs, a group of young people, all dressed in black, were looking towards the wall. A coffin was pushed inside the wall, and instantly, a worker started to close the frontal gap with mortar. The howling, the crying, the powerless screaming came from deep down, and were so powerful that they made me cry. The cemetery had looked so peaceful, but this was a grim reminder of what I was at: the final resting place of people, young and old.
