DAY OF THE DEAD

Location

All around these castle walls I hear the voice of distant calls......Saying hurray hurray today is our day...... It's all hollows eve the day we get to scream dance and play....For on this day we receive our greatest supernatural power..... Especially at the bewitching hour...I hear them say one of the gifts they our given .....Is to walk side by side among the living.....The other one they say is no more communicating by screaming in your ear....their able to speak to the living very clear....Then I herd a very clear voice say..... Would you like to dance and sing with us on this glories day.....Then the voice appeared in a ghostly form after others came like a swarm....Some was seen in gentlemen artier some looked like they just been in a fire....Others looked like they were insane dragging  iron balls and clinging chains.....It didn't matter how they lived or died you see ....On this day all would be free......Free of their rotten shells free of their ghostly wails........Free to dance and have conversations with the living ......Free to take a chance of this supernatural power they were given.....Then I herd a voice of a child say come out come out it's time to play....That's when a group of children came out of the castle wall...Not much more than four foot tall....Wearing costume of years gone past .....And smiles on their face all day they would last....Asking me to join them on this day before it's over and I go to bed.....This wonderful day called day of the dead.....Of course I said with a curios mind and I don't want to sound unkind.....But I need to know when the night is over and the moon light falls .......I'm' not retiring with you in these castle walls....Then all of the sudden silent came over the room....... And I felt inside this eerie gloom .....My heart was pounding so fast I thought that this night would be my last.....Then I saw smiles come over the crowed... And everyone laughing way out loud.....And they said there's no need to fear.....When the morning comes you'll still be hear..... And back into the walls will disappear...So put away your fear and all your dread .....We're only here for the day of the dead.....
