What is recorded here

Uncertain whether the claim is true or false, I witnessed an uncisted urn burial emerge in Ballsallagh. The vessel appeared empty, yet warmth and breath moved inside it. I touched the rim and felt a human heart beating through ceramic. The dead do not leave empty containers behind. They transfer life into whatever vessel loves them.
