Part 1: The Visitor at the Cemetery
Every Saturday at exactly two o’clock in the afternoon, a motorcycle would roll slowly through the iron gates of the cemetery. The rider followed the same quiet path each time, heading directly to the grave of my wife, Sarah.
At first, I assumed coincidence. Cemeteries hold countless stories of loss, and perhaps he mourned someone else. But week after week, month after month, the man returned, never deviating from his routine.
He parked his motorcycle a few yards away, removed his helmet, and walked silently toward Sarah’s headstone. He never brought flowers or decorations, never spoke aloud, but sat cross-legged beside the grave, bowing his head in complete silence.
