I'm not suggesting your story was inspired by it
I didn't think it all :)
For sure there are ideas in my head that's encouraged by things I have seen, heard, read... and over time it merges with your own thoughts and ideas... and you are not sure where which starts and ends.... :)
In fact this story is inspired by a relative. I didn't even think of it when I started the timer, just that I wanted to write a story about returning to Mother Earth.... and then this story came out... :)
Thank you so much @carolkean :)
Oh, I never meant to suggest you got the idea elsewhere. I'm just tormenting myself trying to remember where I saw a scene with a cemetery and someone jumping in: my memory is full of gaping holes and it bug me. Your story is yours, and it's fresh and original. As Willa Cather said, “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.”
I know <33
Willa has something there :)
