Has Anyone Thanked the Gravedigger

You go home dead tired at the end of a thankless day. Everyone is thanked except you. No one gives you a blink. Or a nod or a think at all. You are a gravedigger. People run from you as if you are the grim reaper Or at the least a leper. You are taking a risk with each body, and there are many. No one understands how this virus is spread, it might be more radiantly spread post death than pre-death. You have been coughing for two days now. Your throat is closing up. Has anyone said thank you? Let me be the first then, before it is too late and one of your co-workers starts coughing after burying the part of you that is left behind when your soul gets released.
