Karenius’s father is distraught after his son decides to end his own life, but the boy comes home for dinner every day until the groundfrost thaws and the lad can be buried in Christian soil.

“When they had finished the meal, mother fancied that something icy-cold drifted past her. The door lock clicked and then it was as quiet as death.”

“The Old Gravedigger and His Dead Son” is a legend from Vesterålen in the north of Norway, by Regine Normann.
