Memorial Haven Mausoleum, closed for remodeling.

Just a little creepy something for Halloween.

Not to be a wet blanket, but I don't think you can really tell a story in six words or less, not even if you are Hemingway. He wrote a very emotionally changed sentence, but not a short story. At least not as I understand the meaning of the words. A story needs a beginning, a middle and and end. He has a terrific beginning or ending there, but not all three elements, and therefore, not a short story.

Dialyn, on the other hand, actually has a story. Way to go.
