a recurring dream I had was driving past this graveyard, beside a busy road, in
Edmonton in Alberta (Not England). I'd dream that instead of chain link fence, the road ( as a main traffic road) would go into a graveyard, (this is not done, because of the reverence given to our deceased ancestors). But this dream would recure.
Edmonton was a Frontier town, that experienced many many hardships, especially up until the 1940s. (you know when medical practices were REALLY fucked up, shock treatments, general acceptance for Cocaine in Coke, and Doctor prescribed Smack (Herione) needles). Edmonton, or Deadmonton, experienced a very bad rash of homicides from 2005-2007, dubbing it the city of "Champions", for most murders in Canada. at 39.....
Anyways, death has always surrounded this city of Ghostly Champions. (Edmonton was once known as the city of Champions, to try and inspire community spirit, as in the 80s, the teams would go to win many championships, and it being the Capital of Alberta). But Deadmonton, a Necropolis, had it's share of dead homeless (right on provincial parliment hill or Granville Station), racist groups, gang related murders, homeless suicides. Hell these girls got raped in the same place, (in a public park right under refinery row). Deadmonton was engulfed in a giant demonic fart gas of toxic carinogenic goo, (as the refinery row, which we lived near), barfed out these I don't know what, grey clouds. (most of the toxins are of couse contained, but they still get through).
In addition, many aborginals lost their souls in this dead city! It doesn't help that Deadmonton is blanket by death snow -40 below), (well warmer winters due to global warming). But Edmonton is so far north, that it's right on the line that seperates the Frozen tundra to the temperate warm south. I'm sure many junkies froze to death over the years.
The powerplant of Edmonton (which supplies many power to the North West America), is built on the grave of many blackfoot aborginals!!! (Rossdale Power planet), which looked like a big rusty building with rusty parts, from what I remembered it.
On Serve and Protect (a old show that resembled) C.O.P.S. Edmonton was always featured. Fuck what good is putting the Crown on the police patch and cap, if nobody even respects the crown in that God for fuck city?
Anyhow. I'm surprised that there are not more angry ghosts in that city... While other cities in the world have entered the neo-Millenium organic design for buildings (ie those oval buildings, cone buildings that resemble breasts), or some thing really attractive. Edmonton's cities resemble ugly 30s art deco ones, (you know the old ones in New York, that have gargoyles and grotesque monsters on them?).
So I wonder are Deadmontonians, (Edmontonian Ghosts), putting these recurring images in my mind), of driving past a graveyard, in the dead of winter? which I did early in Jan, because I was lost, and boom! SAME scene in my dream. Freaky!
