[00:26.61]Photo of the dead
[00:37.05]死亡照片
[00:46.99]I was vacationing on the Greek island of Corfu
[00:50.57]for about a month in August of 1992.
[00:54.80]I rent a motorcycle
[00:56.46]and head into the interior of the island
[00:59.39]in search of isolated 1 trails and sleepy villages.
[01:05.00]I rode for hours along dirt trails
[01:08.23]flanked by bright yellow wildflowers,
[01:11.41]over steep and rugged 2 hills,
[01:14.15]and past wide fields
[01:15.54]where farmers struggled to grow anything
[01:18.38]that would take root in the barren, rocky soil.
[01:22.49]I had to keep a close watch on the gas tank
[01:25.06]because there were no gas stations anywhere
[01:28.57]except at the village
[01:30.35]where I had rented the motorcycle.
[01:33.48]At half a tank, I had no choice but to turn back.
[01:38.84]The needle had just hit halfway
[01:40.93]and I was turning around to head back
[01:43.71]when I noticed an old cemetery 3 in the distance,
[01:48.30]far away from any village or other sign of habitation.
[01:53.29]I decided 4 to stretch my legs
[01:55.19]before beginning the long trip home.
[01:58.18]I rode to the gate,
[01:59.64]killed the engine and laid the bike down.
[02:03.25]As I passed through the creaky, wrought 5 iron gate,
[02:06.30]I couldn't help but notice how silent the place was.
[02:10.50]I had to whistle to reassure 6 myself
[02:13.46]that I hadn't gone deaf.
[02:15.65]There were only a few hours of daylight left
[02:18.37]and a strong wind was blowing,
[02:21.90]stirring the overgrown grass
[02:24.05]which partially 7 obscured the scattered 8 tombstones.
