Perhaps it is the fiend in me, but I laughed out loud at your tale especially the ending. What a perfect little story as we draw closer to the end of October when ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night begin to stir and take control. Ghoulishly delightful!
You have given a rather vivid description of what goes on in graveyards "after-hours." I do find the story plot to be a little bit flat in spite of the buildup. I actually was unaware of the practice of cutting off feet to make a body fit in a shorter casket. But then, I haven't been hanging around mortuaries or graveyards. Probably will be soon, like we all do. ;-)
Well put together story, La Bell. You captured the moment . . . twice . . . During the beginning you explained how the dead are basically forgotten, and maybe that is a good thing to not carry the burden for the rest of their lives. In the undead second half of the story you really shouldn't have slandered poor Edgar Allen Poe, but I guess it made for good Halloweenish ghoul-like person. Besides that fact I thoroughly enjoyed reading and digesting "Day of the Dead."
In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
After Satan negotiates a pact with God and unleashes his army of demons, a secret sect battles a diabolical prophecy that threatens humanity.
