She laid out the picnic cloth on the damp ground and passed around the victuals.
It wasn’t the place most people would choose to have a family picnic, among broken tombstones, many just about to keel over, but it was her family plot and she wanted her dearly departed around her.

Well I’m glad, I like making people laugh. I could try a comedy story next maybe? 😉 It’ll probably end up with horror anyway, I seem to be caught in that at the moment. 🙂

LOL! After my writing my horror story, I’m all horrored out. That wore me out literally speaking. Next year, I’ll have to start another story at a normal pace. LOL! 😉

I wrote a longer horror story last year but I had to stop because it actually gave me nightmares! 😉

I have to laugh at that one… That’s exactly what happened to me with that 9 chapter piece I wrote… I actually freaked myself out. I didn’t think I was capable to write a horror story, and I was actually impressed how well I did. But, that’s when my insomnia flared up. LOL! 😈
