I'm going to be trying something new here for a little while. I'm going to be posting a daily writing prompt for you fine folks who somehow find this place. We'll try it for a little while, and see how well it goes. You're welcome to leave a response to the prompt in the comments, or post a link to wherever you decided to share your words. You can also write on your own blog, as long as you do me the favor of linking back to mine. Thank you, and have fun!
Here's your prompt for today:
The Day of the Dead
Dia de Los Muetros, All Hallow's Eve, the day when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead thins, and the dead walk the earth.
Write a scene when the ritual celebration becomes something... more. The dead, just for this one day, actually walk the earth. Do the party-goers encounter benevolent spirits, or vengeful zombies? Loved ones, or strangers? What happens in those few hours before the dead return to their own world?
Write 500 words.
