F*** the Pet Sematary!

As much as I love and miss my baby-boy cat Snowball, as much as I would love to have him back, I know I would not be tempted to bury him in the mysterious burial ground beyond the 'pet sematary.'
In this world created in Stephen King's novel the protagonist was in anguish over the death of his small child. But he had reason to believe that what will come out of that ground won't be his son, just as the strange and newly-feral family cat wasn't the same as before he buried it there. But he was tormented by the temptation to dig his son's body out of the town cemetery and inter it into that shadow-haunted patch of dirt deep in the woods. Once his mind rationalized that what comes back from under the earth will really be his son but with some mental or behavioral handicap, he gave in. That's the part of the story I enjoy, that human struggle we would all face in that hypothetical universe.
If I had a human child, would I have given in? Probably not. I want to say No but since I never brought another human into this world, I guess there's room for doubt.
But Snowball? It's not worth the risk of having a reanimated corpse instead of my precious child back.

btw the book was much better thanrecommende.
If you want to see an excellent movie about the struggle to overcome death, permanently, I highly recommend The Fountain. It's not in the same genre as King's novel- far from it- and it's a unique and unusual film. Enlightening even. Check it out!
