An Alternative Halloween
by Janet Bunce
Drink: Witches' brew!
We gathered together for the 31st
October.
No-one knew specifically why we did
it.
Someone who had dusted off an old book said it was
about the Day of the Dead.
But for us it was the time of
life.
We had spent weeks, months , years in a catacomb-
no-one actually knew.
This day we could stretch our arms, legs and
faces.
We could walk on earth and reconnect with the
world.
Sometimes scarily we heard the screams of the
living.
We assumed they were harming each other but
occasionally we realised from their faces we were wrong!
