All the vaults stand empty
Doors open, black inside
This night the dead wander
while the living shake and hide

Returning before the sunrise
They no longer will be seen
Secure behind their vault doors
Until next Halloween

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
