Day of the Dead Series

Mortal dreams abound, cement stairs lead to a statue of a forgotten soul. Every night immortals bleed their supernatural tears into blades of grass that crushes easily underfoot. Winds blow, trees flutter making lullabies- Piercing stale silence as it hangs in thin darkness. Iron gates enclose this graveyard Not to maintain the dead, But to keep the living out.
